Brian Mulroney, former Canadian prime minister and senior partner at Norton Rose Fulbright Canada, passed away recently at 84. Mulroney began his legal profession as a labor lawyer at Norton Rose Canada predecessor Howard Cate, Ogilvy, one of Montreal’s largest firms, and one of Canada’s oldest. After his tenure in government, he resumed his position at the firm, previously known as Ogilvy Renault, until its eventual merger with Norton Rose in 2011.
Norton Rose remembers Mulroney not only for his political leadership but equally for his impactful role within the firm, characterizing him as “a statesman, a visionary, and a humanitarian.” Notably, Mulroney was instrumental in the mergers that led to the establishment of the global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright.
