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

Quite amusing seeing how second tier firms try to Big Themselves and love the Frankenfirm description. Very apt, although difficult to top Dentons for innapprooriate mixing of body parts. No question NR are second tier in mining. |Despite claiming to act for Rio and BHP (neither company would allow a major advisor to work for the other), it's noticable that Rio use Links/Allens (or Herbies) for their major deals and BHP use S&M/Blakes (now Ashursts). So, despite have a few extra body parts, the quality of the verein members will not change and NRF will remain firmly in the second tier, even for mining. Good luck to them, though, and hopefully this exclusive referal verein arrangement will increase their revenue line, even if it reduces (to 1) the number of US firms that will work with NR now.
