Norton Rose Fulbright will temporarily retain its legacy Fulbright & Jaworski name in the US for regulatory reasons, it has emerged, as the firm seeks the approval of local state bars to formally change its legal identity to reflect the transatlantic merger. The newly merged firm, which was formed last week under the global brand of Norton Rose Fulbright, is still legally registered as Fulbright & Jaworski in the US. The firm explained that as legacy Fulbright practises in 50 states across the US, it now faces a complex and potentially lengthy process to comply with local bar rules on name changes. It confirmed that it plans to change its US legal entity name as soon as it is able to do so.
