Norton Rose Fulbright has announced the addition of three new partners to its Los Angeles office, strengthening its legal team with a focus on high-stakes litigation and commercial disputes. Matthew Long, Adam Peatman, and Jorge Giraldo bring a wealth of experience to the firm, enhancing its capabilities in serving major corporate clients.
Matthew Long, known for his expertise in complex commercial litigation, joins Norton Rose Fulbright from Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman. Long has a proven track record in handling multifaceted legal disputes and significant experience in representing clients in the technology and energy sectors.
Adam Peatman, formerly with Sheppard Mullin, has developed a substantial practice in real estate and construction litigation. His background offers strategic insights and depth to the team, particularly as legal challenges related to real estate continue to evolve in the rapidly changing economic landscape.
Jorge Giraldo, who has been noted for his work in product liability and mass tort litigation, also joins the firm from Dentons. Giraldo’s litigation acumen enhances the firm’s ability to address the intricate needs of its clients facing complex liability issues.
This strategic move to incorporate Long, Peatman, and Giraldo highlights Norton Rose Fulbright’s commitment to expanding its presence and expertise in key practice areas in Los Angeles, a significant legal market. This comes as many firms are increasingly focused on strengthening their West Coast offerings to better serve a diverse clientele.
The addition of these partners is expected to bolster Norton Rose Fulbright’s litigation and disputes practice, offering clients enhanced resources and a deeper bench of seasoned attorneys in critical sectors. For further details on this development, see the Bloomberg Law article.
