History


Norton Rose was founded in 1794 by Robert Charsley, the only employee at the time. In 1821, Charsley partnered with William Barker, creating Charsley & Barker. Later that century, Phillip Rose (later Sir Philip Rose) joined the firm, creating Barker & Rose and later Barker, Rose & Norton when Henry Elland Norton joined. By 1900, the firm was called Norton, Rose, Norton & Co.
In 1960, the firm, renamed Norton, Rose & Co., amalgamated with the shipping company Botterell & Roche (founded 1861) to form Norton, Rose, Botterell & Roche. This shipping experience contributed to their work in the nationalization of British Steel and the after-arrangement of its subsidiary companies.
In 1976, the firm established its first international office in Hong Kong, then Bahrain in 1979 and Singapore in 1982. By 1988, the firm had renamed to Norton Rose. In 2007, Norton Rose converted to a Limited Liability Partnership.
Beginning in the 2010s, the firm combined with several others. Norton Rose combined with Australian firm Deacons in 2010 and began an association with Indonesia firm Susandarini & Partners in 2011. In 2011, they also combined with Canadian law firm Ogilvy Renault and South African firm Deneys Reitz, In January 2012, Norton Rose combined with Canadian firm Macleod Dixon. In 2013, Norton Rose combined with US firm Fulbright & Jaworski to become Norton Rose Fulbright.

Criticism


In August 2018 the High Court of Justice in London criticized Norton Rose for unfair and misleading presentation in a case involving Fundo Soberano de Angola: "The breaches of duty are sufficiently serious and culpable to warrant discharging the WFO and not granting fresh relief, irrespective of the other grounds of challenge".
