Twenty years ago Norton Rose Fulbright chose to call the UAE home. In the two decades that have followed, the business has expanded and thrived. I would like to congratulate the firm’s management and partners on their success and I look forward to Norton Rose Fulbright’s ongoing partnership as the UAE continues to develop our services sector, diversify our economy, and drive towards our long term goals.”

Looking to the future, we are excited about the opportunities ahead and are committed to continuing our expansion in the region.”
