Norton Rose Fulbright (NRF) is a British-American business law firm. It is the thirteenth-largest by headcount[8] and 21st by revenue, with revenues of more than $2 billion.[9]

History

The British law firm Norton Rose was established by Robert Charsley in 1794 and expanded across Asia, Europe and the Middle East in the 1990s.[10]

In 2013, Norton Rose merged with American law firm Fulbright & Jaworski, forming Norton Rose Fulbright.[11]

In June 2017, the firm again merged, absorbing New York City law firm Chadbourne & Parke.[12]

Criticism

In August 2018, the High Court of Justice in London criticized Norton Rose for unfair and misleading presentation in a case involving Fundo Soberano de Angola: "The breaches of duty are sufficiently serious and culpable to warrant discharging the WFO and not granting fresh relief, irrespective of the other grounds of challenge".[13][14]
