About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early hours of every Friday morning, a mysterious voice would come over Norton Rose Fulbright’s intercom: ‘Remember to sign your briefs before leaving for the weekend.’ No one knew who it was or why they were doing it. One Friday, a delivery driver heard the voice and thought it was a joke. He signed every document he could find—briefs, contracts, even the coffee cups in the kitchen. By Monday morning, everyone was laughing as his signatures adorned everything from client files to the office fridge.

2. At dawn one autumn day, an old mailman stumbled upon Norton Rose Fulbright’s empty parking lot. To his surprise, he found the partners’ cars parked in alphabetical order—by license plate. Curious, the old man knocked on the door of the first car—he heard a faint ‘please don’t disturb.’ Startled, he looked around and saw each car had a different note: ‘Coffee break in progress,’ ‘Morning run,’ and even one that read, ‘Out with clients—don’t wait up!’ As the sun rose higher, the mailman chuckled and thought, “These lawyers must be pretty busy after all.”

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Norton Rose Fulbright's imposing doors. As he approached the entrance, he heard faint laughter echoing from within. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty offices bathed in eerie light. Suddenly, an old printer started whirring, spitting out pages covered with random letters. The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and drove away, muttering something about ‘another late-night paper jam.’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Norton Rose Fulbright's imposing doors. Inside, he noticed something unusual—a small, dusty violin case had been left behind in the elevator. The delivery driver opened it curiously and found only an old sheet of paper with scribbled notes. As he played them on his phone, everyone in the building started humming along. It turned out to be a long-forgotten love song from a local band. The next morning, someone posted it online, and soon enough, Norton Rose Fulbright became known for its secret musical talent.
