Norton Rose Fulbright (NRF) has reappointed longstanding chair Stephen Parish to serve a third term as chairman of Norton Rose Fulbright LLP.
Parish will start his three-year term chairing what is effectively legacy UK firm Norton Rose and its operations outside South Africa, the US, Australia and Canada on 1 May, having initially been elected to the post in 2009.
He will also continue with his role as global vice chair of Norton Rose Fulbright. In addition, he sits on the firm's global supervisory board and is chair of the London diversity and inclusion committee.
Commenting on his reappointment chief executive Peter Martyr said: "I would like to congratulate Stephen on his reappointment and thank him for his tireless hard work and dedication, whether it be supporting clients or championing diversity and inclusion issues. He has been integral to the growth of our practice in recent years and he will continue to be so as we develop the business further."
Parish added: "The business has grown dramatically over the last few years and it has been very rewarding to see it develop into the global legal practice it is today."
Banking partner Parish joined the firm more than 40 years ago, serving as as international managing partner in Bahrain between 1985 and 1988. He headed the banking practice from 2006 and has acted for clients in Europe and the Middle East including Hypo Vereinsbank and HSBC Nordea Bank and the Royal Bank of Scotland.
Parish's appointment follows the re-election of Peter Martyr in October for a fifth term as global chief executive. Global head of corporate Martin Scott was named as the UK LLP's new managing partner, a position which Martyr had previously held in conjunction with his global responsibilities.
Both Scott and Martyr began their three-year terms on 1 January.
Norton Rose filed its LLP accounts earlier this month(February 17), covering its operations in the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Brazil, which showed a 3.8% increase in operating profit in the 2013-2014 financial year.
