Further to the previously announced plan for Norton Rose Fulbright's South Africa business to become an independent firm, Norton Rose Fulbright will formally conclude its Verein relationship with the South African practice with effect from March 31, 2026.
The South African firm, led by Brent Botha, will now operate under the Deneys name and brand. It will continue to advise clients across South Africa, the African continent and internationally.
Norton Rose Fulbright will have no financial or legal relationship with, nor ownership of, the newly independent firm.
Both firms will continue to collaborate on cross-border matters where client needs align, ensuring continuity of service for clients.
