One of the world's largest global law firms by headcount, with particular strength in transport, energy and financial institutions. NRF's five-continent network is a key differentiator for complex, multi-jurisdictional mandates, particularly in shipping, aviation and commodities.
Culture & Values
Norton Rose Fulbright awards around fifty London training contracts a year, run as four six-month seats with compulsory corporate and banking seats. Secondments are almost a given: one seat is usually spent on secondment, whether at a client or in an overseas office such as Sydney, Dubai, Singapore or Tokyo, and about a third of trainees do a client secondment at a major bank. The firm's sector strength in transport, energy and financial institutions shapes much of the work.
