Allen & Overy to build on Belfast success with new Australian centre
Global law firm Allen & Overy (A&O) has announced plans to build on the success of its legal services centre in Belfast with the opening of a second advanced delivery centre in Perth, Australia.
The new centre, similar to that opened in Belfast in 2011, will comprise legal support professionals and associates as well as dedicated project management and eDiscovery specialists.
It is expected to open in the second quarter of 2022 and will provide technology-enabled support on areas such as due diligence, document review and eDiscovery, regulatory-filings, as well as general transaction management.
Belfast-based partner Angela Clist, who heads the advanced delivery/legal services team, said: “A&O Belfast has quickly enabled us as a firm to build a leading reputation for providing clients with a cost-effective, tightly-integrated resourcing option while guaranteeing the high standards and innovative solutions they expect from A&O.
“I am excited to add our new centre in Perth as we continue to innovate in client service delivery.”
