Norton Rose has cemented its relationship with budget airline easyJet by advising on the £1.95bn purchase of 120 aircraft from the Airbus consortium – the latest in a series of lucrative aviation deals for the firm.

The budget airline is fast becoming one of Norton Rose’s most lucrative clients, the firm having won the mandate to become easyJet’s primary corporate adviser more than two years ago.
Norton Rose won the primary adviser role six months prior to easyJet’s flotation in November 2000.
