International legal practice Norton Rose has appointed Christian Dargham as a partner in its Paris office.
Christian specialises in litigation and corporate compliance and joins Norton Rose’s growing litigation and dispute resolution team from the Paris office of Clifford Chance. He has worked on a number of significant cases involving product liability and white collar crime.
Christian also has significant experience assisting clients in relation to compliance, including the design, draft and implementation of global compliance policies in various fields (fraud, corruption, conflict of interests, gifts and hospitality, sanctions/freeze of assets).
Christian also advises on training, internal investigations, as well as the day-to-day assistance of compliance officers and integrity due diligence. He is fluent in French, English and Arabic.
Deirdre Walker, global head of litigation and dispute resolution at Norton Rose, said:
‘Christian is an excellent addition to our team in Paris where he will bring his considerable experience of several industry sectors to the practice. His hire also enables us to build on our compliance and regulatory offering to clients who increasingly require global reach for this type of work.
‘The continued international growth of our practice and combination on 1 June this year with leading US firm Fulbright & Jaworski underlines Norton Rose’s ability to work across borders and jurisdictions. With 1000 litigation and dispute resolution specialists we will continue to build an international litigation practice with global reach across over 50 offices, including across 13 offices in Europe.’
