Dentons has had a busy year. Already a global giant, having been formed in 2013 via a tripartite combination between SNR Denton, Canada’s Fraser Milner Casgrain and French firm Salans, Dentons in 2015 undertook what must rank as the most extreme year of expansion ever seen in the global legal market.
The firm combined with 4,000-lawyer Chinese giant Dacheng, Atlanta-based law firm McKenna Long & Aldridge, Colombia’s Cárdenas & Cárdenas and Mexico’s López Velarde and carried out a three-way tie-up with Australian firm Gadens and Singapore’s Rodyk & Davidson. That’s six deals in a single fiscal year.
