What sets us apart
Sector‑Driven Global Giant
Organises around energy, transport, infrastructure and FI sectors; Australian offices collaborate daily with London and Houston, so juniors learn industry context—not just law—on cross‑border files.
Fast Australian Expansion
Since the 2010 Deacons merger NRF has become a top‑five revenue earner, meaning leaner practices are still growing and junior lawyers often grab responsibility earlier than at longer‑established peers.
US & UK Law Capability
Through Fulbright & Jaworski the firm fields strong US law capacity (rare in Australia), which brings in arbitration and financing work other locals must refer out.
