At Norton Rose Fulbright we provide the world’s pre-eminent corporations and financial institutions with a full business law service. We have more than 3,800 lawyers based in over 50 cities across Europe, the United States, Canada, Latin America, Asia, Australia, Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia.
Business Principles
Quality, unity and integrity: wherever we are, we operate in accordance with our global business principles. They underpin our growth, define our culture and guide our work worldwide. Quality: clients come first – our focus is on providing consistently high quality legal services to our clients. Unity: we work and share as a team, have a united, global perspective and work hard to preserve our culture. Integrity: we value our people – they are our most important asset – and we promote a culture of respect for the individual.
Strength through Strategy
Recognized for our industry focus, we are strong across all the key industry sectors: financial institutions; energy; infrastructure, mining and commodities; transport; technology and innovation; and life sciences and healthcare. Our six industries are all global in their scope, and our progress in each owes much to our ability to deliver advice that goes beyond just legal. Our clients come to see us as committed business advisors, as well as legal professionals, because our people know their industries so well.
What being global really means
For us, being global is not a matter of stature or size. It is about strength. When we expanded our footprint by combining with top legal practices in Australia, Canada, South Africa and the United States, we did so with a clear purpose – to enhance our impressive capabilities in key industry sectors. Now, brought together by our shared values, we have a wealth of outstanding professionals across the globe and they are opening up fascinating prospects in key markets.
Join Norton Rose Fulbright and it’s almost certain that you will work overseas within your first two years. You will experience exciting global deals right from the start, and you will be able to draw on the insight of thousands of experienced colleagues around the world.
Diversity and Inclusion
As our global platform opens up opportunities in different markets and cultures around the world, diversity of perspective is vital to us. While there is still much to do, the diversity of our practice is already something of which we are proud. Our programmes and initiatives create opportunities and generate real change, so that all our people are supported to achieve their full potential.
Who we look for
It goes without saying that we are looking for sharp and agile thinkers with strong interpersonal skills and impressive academic records. But, given the position we are in and the scale of our ambitions for the future, the real key to progress here is a global outlook. By this, we mean a genuine eagerness to add new dimensions to your experience by exploring our broad international horizons. You need to be open- minded as to where your career could take you, and adaptable and adventurous enough to make the most of every opportunity, wherever it is. Other attributes that will stand you in good stead include commercial acumen, stamina, a high level of personal drive and the ability to stay cool under pressure.
