Norton Rose Fulbright has continued their aggressive expansion strategy into 2022 with the appointment of three new lawyers who will join the South African arm of their global practice on 1 March.

This month, the firm has welcomed seasoned three new lawyers to join their corporate, mergers and acquisitions team. Seasoned M&A lawyer, Willem de Villiers joins as a director with Dillon Harris, Senior Associate and Cameron Bernhardt, Associate.

Willem specialises in mergers and acquisitions, financing transactions and restructurings and is dual-qualified with both local and English law capabilities and is consistently recognised by international legal rankings outfits.

Senior Associate, Dillon has experience in M&A and corporate finance with Cameron adding similar expertise to the team.

Stephen Kennedy-Good, director and practice group leader of the Business Law team says:

“We are so delighted that Willem, Dillon and Cameron have agreed to join us as we believe that they will each add significantly to our already thriving corporate team.”

The three new hires follow hot on the heels of Tamara Gerwel who moved over to the firm on 1 February as a director, also in the corporate, mergers and acquisitions team.
