39 Norton Rose Fulbright practices recognized in 2025 Legal 500 US edition
The Legal 500 United States 2025 edition has ranked Norton Rose Fulbright as a leading law firm in 39 national practice areas and recognized 27 of the firm's US lawyers as national leaders.
Six of the recognized lawyers were part of the "Hall of Fame" of their respective practice groups, and 13 were named to the elite list of "Leading Partners." Two lawyers were named "Next Generation Partners," and six lawyers were listed as "Leading Associates." The firm had 152 lawyers recommended for their work across a broad range of key industries and practice areas.
Each US edition of The Legal 500 guide highlights law firms with a large national presence, and selections are based on firm matters and client feedback. Emphasis is placed on practice teams as opposed to individual lawyers to highlight "the overall strength and depth of a practice group."
