Norton Rose Fulbright has announced its separation from its 120-lawyer South African practice. The offices in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban will become an independent firm following a structured transition. This move concludes a presence established over a decade ago through a merger with Deneys Reitz.
The newly independent firm, which has not yet revealed its name, will be led by the current South African chief executive, Brent Botha. He stated that the practice would continue its market-leading work for clients across South Africa and the African continent, building on its century-long legacy. Norton Rose Fulbright expressed that the split was a natural evolution for both entities.
Following the separation, Norton Rose Fulbright will maintain an African presence through its office in Casablanca and several alliances in other nations.
