The origins of Nabarro go back to just after the
Second World War. By 1958, the principals, Leslie Nathanson, Felix Nabarro and his brother Alan Nabarro, had merged their firms to form an eight partner, sixty employee firm advising on property, litigation, company commercial and family law matters under the name Nabarro Nathanson. In 1990, Nabarro Nathanson acquired the legal team of the
British Coal Corporation, which comprised 125 lawyers. In the same year the firm established an alliance with the U.S.-based law firm
Weil, Gotshal & Manges, which was subsequently dissolved in 1995. Various mergers and office moves in the West End of London culminated in the firm's relocation in November 1999 to Holborn in central London. In February 2007, the firm changed its name from Nabarro Nathanson to Nabarro and launched its new brand with an associated strapline 'Clarity Matters'. In January 2008, Nabarro partners voted in favour of the firm converting to a
limited liability partnership, with the change occurring in March of that year. In October 2014, Nabarro moved to new offices in
London Wall. From May 2017 the firm ceased to exist independently after being merged into
