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.[4]
In 2013, Norton Rose merged with American law firm Fulbright & Jaworski, forming Norton Rose Fulbright.[5]
In June 2017, the firm again merged, absorbing New York City law firm Chadbourne & Parke.[6]
In March 2026, Norton Rose exited South Africa, with its former office becoming an independent law firm,[7] Deneys.[8]
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".[9][10]
