In yet another significant Texan transfer, Baker Botts has expanded its Houston offering bringing in a nine partner team from Norton Rose Fulbright (NRF).
The move comes as NRF announced earlier today (21 February) it had agreed to merge with 400-lawyer Chadbourne & Parke. The merger will see Chadbourne’s $250m practice bolted on to NRF’s US arm under the verein structure, giving the combined firm a potential global turnover of around $2bn. Houston is the home of NRF’s 2013 merger partner Fulbright & Jaworski.
