Rumours of a Freshfields move into Autralia

Though Freshfields maintains its denials, evidence is mounting that Freshfields plans to launch in Australia. The firm has hired top headhunter John Colvin to scout out potential recruits in Australia, according to The Lawyer. Further, it has been reported that Freshfields recently sent over three partners to assess how best to launch in the country. Freshfields is keeping mum, however. A spokesman said "we have no current plans to open an office in Australia. We do a lot of work with Australian companies and often have partners down in Australia helping clients and building relationships with the strong independent local firms".
