Edward Norton, a partner, is a distinguished Solicitor-Advocate with extensive experience spanning commercial litigation and complex insolvency matters.
His foundational training took place at a highly-regarded boutique law firm in Chancery Lane, where his talent quickly led him to partnership. During this period, he played a pivotal role in a high-profile case involving the Libyan sovereign wealth fund, contributing significantly to the court's clarification of definitions concerning breaches of directors' duties, such as 'dishonest assistance' and 'knowing receipt.' Subsequently, Edward gained invaluable cross-border experience during a significant period at a large offshore law firm. Here, he worked on several landmark international cases, including the largest recorded insolvency on record to date and a complex dispute exposing large-scale political corruption at government level in China, where he successfully acted as lead advocate in a pivotal and ultimately victorious hearing. His most recent advocacy highlights his representation of a large group of Syrian claimants in the High Court in London, pursuing a substantial claim against a Middle Eastern bank for allegedly funding terrorist activities.
Edward's practice is underpinned by a profound sense of justice and a conviction that high-quality legal representation should be accessible to all. This purpose drives his commitment to securing the very best results for his clients. With Italian roots on his mother's side and an English father, Edward advises expertly on matters of English law while particularly enjoying his work with both English and Italian clients, fostering strong international connections inherent to Giambrone's ethos. He is known for his personable approach and exceptional ability to distil complex legal concepts into clear, straightforward language. Edward believes that lawyers must not only possess deep legal acumen but also provide responsive, high-level service, understanding that they are fundamentally service providers dedicated to client success.
