Norton Rose seals $1.9bn merger with America's Fulbright & Jaworski

"is a serious players in energy, mining, infra, financial institutions etc!?" I think the original comment started with "Although they both have their bright spots...." F&J is a second tier energy firm (if it were first tier, it wouldn't need to merge with a second tier firm). NR does low value mining, infra and is unheard of in FI. So by world standards, they're not serious players and I don't think eg Rio Tinto will be picking up the phone next time it's thinking of doing a deal. In fact, if I was GC of Rio, I would be even less likely to use either firm because of who each of them has chosen as a verein co-member. If this was the test of a good firm, Baker and McKenzie and DLA would dominate world legal services.
