Dentons is starting the year with a bang. The global legal giant confirmed Thursday that it had struck a deal with a 45-lawyer banking and finance team from Matthew Arnold & Baldwin (MAB), a leading U.K. regional firm.
The mass lateral move is the first this year for 7,300-lawyer Dentons, which in 2015 made several notable acquisitions, as well as eight combinations around the world, including a landmark union with China’s largest firm, Dacheng. The Dacheng deal became official in November, the same month that Dentons announced two more deals in Colombia and Mexico.
