Norton Rose Fulbright has opened an office in Rio de Janeiro led by Brazil veterans Andrew Haynes, a lateral partner hire, and partner Glenn Faass, who is currently head of the firm’s Bogota, Colombia office.

Haynes, who joined the firm on Feb. 3, said he is working in temporary space in Rio, and Faass will join him over the next couple weeks. Haynes said the office will move into permanent space by mid-year.
