Norton Rose Fulbright is recommended by clients for its ‘capability to offer creative solutions despite pressure, and work as one team with its clients‘. The firm has an extensive emerging markets practice in London, and is active in Francophone and Anglophone Africa, the Middle East, the CIS region, Latin America and in Southeast Asia. Its work focuses on key sectors such as mining, agriculture, oil and gas, power and infrastructure development, and commodity trading, covering transactional work, finance and disputes.
