It was with great sadness that the world learned of the death of former Canadian Prime Minister and senior partner at Norton Rose Fulbright Canada, Brian Mulroney, at the age of 84 on Thursday. Known for his contributions as a statesman, visionary and humanitarian, Brian Mulroney was highly respected within the Norton Rose community.
Brian Mulroney began his career in law as a labor lawyer at a predecessor of Norton Rose Canada: Howard Cate, Ogilvy. This firm held the prestige of being one of Canada’s oldest and Montreal’s largest. After an interlude in government, Mulroney returned to the private sector and resumed his legal career at the firm. At this stage, it was already known as Ogilvy Renault. This continued until 2011, when the firm underwent a merger and became Norton Rose.
Mulroney was an early proponent of the various mergers that eventually resulted in the birth of the global law firm, Norton Rose. His vision and leadership were highly influential during this transformative period.
