Walied Soliman, a seasoned lawyer specialising in Canadian mergers and acquisitions, is set for his second tenure as the global chair of Norton Rose Fulbright. This development marks his reappointment to the role he previously held in 2019, alongside his existing position as the chair of the firm’s Canadian operations since 2017.
As he begins his one-year term, Soliman steps up during a defining period for Norton Rose Fulbright, which has recently witnessed a raft of departures from its global management team. This turbulence includes the unexpected exit of global CEO Gerry Pecht last September. For more details on these transitions within the firm’s management, refer to this report.
The role of global chairperson at Norton Rose Fulbright is primarily regarded as ambassadorial, providing strategic and reputational stewardship for the firm on a global scale. Soliman’s reappointment underscores his continued commitment to the firm’s growth trajectory and operational excellence.
