Australian IP law firm Spruson & Ferguson has opened an office in Manila, its 10th, to better tap into the rising demand from the evolving IP market in Asia.

Since setting up an office in Singapore in 1997, the Sydney-headquartered Spruson has steadily expanded in the region by establishing offices in major economic centres including Kuala Lumpur in 2004, and Beijing, Hong Kong, Jakarta and Bangkok in 2016.
