Global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright added trial lawyer David Moreno, who has significant experience in sports law, white collar and reputation management, to its litigation and disputes practice as a partner in New York.
Joining from Blank Rome, Moreno represents clients in state and federal courts in complex civil and corporate litigation as well as in business, real estate, antitrust and product liability disputes. He also advises on white collar matters, including cross-border issues, healthcare fraud, securities fraud and other financial crimes, and leads independent investigations on behalf of his clients.
Moreno counsels athletes, executives, politicians, entrepreneurs and entertainers in high-stakes disputes, business transactions and crisis situations involving reputation management. He has represented professional sports teams, players, leagues and associations in the U.S. and abroad in litigation matters related to contracts, licensing and ownership. Moreno is certified as a contract advisor by the National Football League Players Association and National Basketball Players Association.

“Norton Rose Fulbright’s far-reaching global platform will allow me to expand my domestic practice while effectively serving my international clients in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America,” Moreno said. “I am excited to join the firm’s top-tier litigation and disputes practice.”
