While the curtain remains down on his next move, the spokesperson lauded Pecht’s reign, pointing out his relentless drive in shaping Norton Rose as a global, innovative, and socially responsible leader in the legal domain.
The Legacy and The Interim Torchbearers
But as one act ends, another begins. In the wake of Pecht’s departure, Jeff Cody and Peter Scott, the managing maestros of U.S. and Europe, Middle East, and Asia respectively, are set to jointly steer Norton Rose’s global executive ship, albeit on an interim basis.
Pecht’s association with Norton Rose is the stuff of legends. Since stepping into the legal amphitheater in 1980, after a stint at a federal judicial clerkship in Ohio and graduating from the University of Cincinnati College of Law in 1978, Pecht quickly rose through the ranks. He clinched the partner title in 1987 and has since donned multiple hats, including global head of dispute resolution and litigation.
Pecht’s legal artistry primarily danced around complex business and commercial litigation, including energy litigation and international arbitration.
Norton Rose in Focus
The international law juggernaut, Norton Rose Fulbright, with its 12 U.S. outposts, now stands at a thrilling crossroad, awaiting its next global leader, while the legal world watches with bated breath.
