Its first international office was opened in London in 1974, and its roots in China date back to the 1980s, when it was part of the Beijing Interjura consultancy (1987-1993) and though a co-operation agreement with Great Wall Law Firm (the law firm of China's Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations and Trade) signed in 1990. In 1987, ''Ellison Hewison & Whitehead'' merged with ''Gillott, Moir & Winneke'' and with ''Minter Simpson & Co Ellison'' to become Minter Ellison. In 1992, Minter Ellison and ''Morris Fletcher & Cross'' merged to become ''Minter Ellison Morris Fletcher'' and in 1995, the firm officially becomes known as ''Minter Ellison''. In 2000, the Canberra office merged with ''Deacon Graham & James''. The firm established offices in Hong Kong in 2000, Shanghai in 2001, Beijing in 2010, and Ulaanbaatar in 2012. On 1 September 2001 the New Zealand (Auckland and Wellington) law firm of ''Rudd Watts & Stone'' changed its name to ''Minter Ellison Rudd Watts'' (this firm is a member of the MinterEllison Legal Group and as an 'associated' firm does not form part of the integrated MinterEllison partnership.) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MinterEllison」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
