Fulbright & Jaworski and U.K.-based Norton Rose are to combine next summer, creating a global giant that will rank among the world’s 10-largest law firms by revenue and attorney head count, the pair announced Wednesday.

In the latest transatlantic tie-up, which follows the likes of DLA Piper, Hogan Lovells and SNR Denton, the combination of Fulbright and Norton Rose will formally take effect on June 1, 2013.
