Norton Rose Fulbright operates a well-established e-discovery offering that combines legal, technical and operational expertise to support clients facing complex litigation and information management demands. The team is regularly instructed on cross-border discovery matters, drawing on the firm’s broader data privacy, cybersecurity, and information governance capabilities to navigate regulatory and jurisdictional constraints on data use and transfer. The practice is led from New York by David Kessler, who focuses on cross-border discovery and regularly acts for financial services, tech and pharmaceutical clients, advising on litigation readiness and serving as specialist discovery counsel. Co-head Andrea D’Ambra advises global organisations on information risk across disputes and investigations, with particular strength in cross-border discovery, international data protection regimes and emerging AI-related issues. Susana Medeiros advises on complex e-discovery matters, including defensible data collection and spoliation issues, while Dallas-based Ellen Blanchard supports companies on information governance and data protection across the discovery lifecycle.
