She was elected by Norton Rose Fulbright partners as the firm’s EMEA chair in 2018 for a three-year term.
“Farmida Bi has distinguished herself as a leader at our firm and an award-winning lawyer in the global business community,” said global chief executive Gerry Pecht of the firm’s incoming global chair.
Bi will replace Shauna Clark from January 1 2022.
