In the same week as Kirkland & Ellis announced it is opening in Houston, top 10 LB100 firm Norton Rose Fulbright (NRF) has confirmed it is withdrawing from the Prague market, closing its local office due to ‘difficult market’ conditions with effect from 1 May.
NRF’s Prague head Milana Chamberlain will return to London where she will take up a senior position within the London business, ethics and anti-corruption practice. Meanwhile, Prague partner Pavel Kvíčala will join Czech-Slovak law firm Havel, Holásek & Partners along with his immediate team on 1 May.
