At work

We have a responsibility to take an active role in society, using our legal and other skills for the benefit of the public. Everyone in Norton Rose has the chance to do something in support of our chosen charities.

The Norton Rose Charitable Foundation co-ordinates our international donations and fundraising activities. The Foundation is a UK registered charity and its funds - which have been donated by the partners - are separate from the business interests of Norton Rose.
