Global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright today announced the appointment of New York partner Robin Adelstein as its US Co-Head of Commercial Litigation, one of the largest practice teams within the firm. Adelstein joins Houston partner Andrew Price in this leadership role.

Jeff Cody, Norton Rose Fulbright's US Managing Partner, said:

"Robin has long been respected as a leader within the firm as our Global and US Head of Antitrust and Competition, and she is a highly-recognized practitioner in her field. I look forward to seeing the great work that our commercial litigation group will do under Robin's and Andrew's leadership."

Steve Jansma, Norton Rose Fulbright's US Head of Litigation and Disputes, said:

"Robin is an exceptional litigator with significant experience assisting clients in high-stakes disputes. She offers a unique perspective based on her broad and substantial in-house experience, and her dynamic personality makes her perfect for this role."

Adelstein litigates complex, commercial disputes, class actions and multijurisdictional cases before US federal and state courts. She represents clients in government enforcement actions by the US Federal Trade Commission and US Department of Justice, as well as the HHS Office of the Inspector General. Adelstein has defended clients in qui tam matters in many locales as well as in investigations and litigation by numerous State Attorneys General. She also advises companies with respect to the antitrust issues arising in mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, trade association activities, distribution practices, pricing programs and other aspects of competitor and customer communications and associations.

Adelstein, who has twice been recognized by Crain's New York Business as one of the "Notable Women in Law," commented:

"Our firm has a longstanding reputation for advising clients on their most complex and significant matters. It is an honor to head Norton Rose Fulbright's commercial litigation group along with Andrew; I am proud to be leading such a talented group of lawyers."

Licensed in New York and the District of Columbia, Adelstein received her law degree from New York University School of Law and bachelor's degree in economics (with honors) and political science, magna cum laude, from Colgate University, where she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.
