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.

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.
