Norton Rose Fulbright promoted 51 lawyers to partner across 22 offices worldwide, and women made up 51 percent of the new class after last year dipped to just 35 percent. The bulk of promotions went to North America, with 30 spots split between the US and Canada, while London grabbed 10 slots and Australia snagged six. New co-global managing partners Peter Scott and Jeff Cody oversaw the round after taking over when former CEO Gerry Pecht bounced.
The firm pulled in $2.4 billion in global revenue while profits per equity partner hit $1.6 million, and litigation snagged 14 promotions as the top practice area. Two people got promoted in South Africa even though the 120-lawyer office is splitting off next year, which means the firm loses its ground presence there entirely.
