Paralegal, Global Dispute Resolution Group at Norton Rose Fulbright

THE TEAM The Norton Rose Fulbright Global Dispute Resolution Group is one of the first choice practices for the complex, high-value international work of global corporations and financial institutions. We have particular expertise in financial services, insurance, energy and infrastructure, construction, and transport (which includes our market-leading shipping and aviation practices). The entry into force of the Bribery Act will lead to an increase in corruption prosecutions and enforcement actions in the UK, particularly with the UK looking likely to adopt deferred prosecution agreements. This can be expected to be mirrored globally, with countries such as Canada and Australia beginning to demonstrate a heightened appetite for enforcing their anti-corruption laws. The Business Ethics and Anti-Corruption Group at Norton Rose Fulbright LLP is a well-established successful team in this area and continues to develop its capabilities and expand the team and capitalise on opportunities within and outside the group.
