Dentons is set to roll out a giant new legal referral network within days, the head of the initiative revealed this week.

During a Monday seminar on law firm networks at the International Bar Association’s annual meeting in Washington, D.C., Jeff Modisett, a senior counsel at Dentons who serves as CEO of the Dentons-branded Nextlaw Global Referral Network LLC, told those in attendance that the network will go live next week with roughly 250 firms and 18,000 lawyers.
