Amid recent departures within its management structure, Norton Rose Fulbright confirms the addition of fresh litigation leaders in their Chicago office. The new heads of litigation signal bolstered dispute practices, an area of practice that is currently experiencing high demand in the realm of Big Law.
Norton Rose Fulbright, currently ranked 16 in the Am Law firm list, officially announced last Thursday the intake of partners Joshua Lee and Edward Casmere. Both Lee and Casmere were previously associated with the Chicago-based firm Riley Safer Holmes & Cancila, and are now slated to co-captain the litigation and disputes sector of Norton Rose’s Chicago establishment.
The recent change in Norton Rose’s leadership comes at a crucial time, considering the pace of lawsuits and disputes projected for this year. With the incorporation of seasoned experts Lee and Casmere, the firm appears geared to efficiently handle any increase in litigation demands.
