Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP has represented clients in the energy, financial and healthcare industries.[1] As trustees of the M.D. Anderson Foundation, Fulbright & Jaworski LLP partners were instrumental in the establishment of the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical system in the world.[2] During its first 50 years, the firm's transportation work included representing the Port of Houston and industries along the Houston Ship Channel.

He also served as Assistant to the Attorney General of the United States in the 1963 civil rights case involving James Meredith’s admission to the University of Mississippi. He was later appointed and served as the Watergate Special Prosecutor, 1973–74.[3]
