About Dentons

Dentons helps clients achieve their business outcomes and imperatives—whether they are trying to grow, protect, operate, or finance their organization. This is why we organize the content on our website around these themes. Our practice, industry, and sector groups work together to meet client goals, and we also have a number of advisory and consultancy solutions that complement the services you might typically associate with a law firm.

Why Choose Dentons?

The fastest growing global law firm—ever
Leading law firms do not join Dentons. They join with Dentons to enhance their offerings to clients. Since the firm was founded in 2013, more than 40 law firms around the world have combined with Dentons in pursuit of a common goal: to offer clients more services, more resources, more experience, and more talent.

Polycentric
Dentons is proudly diverse. We have no dominant HQ or culture. Key decisions are made with the contribution and insight of a diverse and representative governance structure comprised of:

  • Global Advisory Committee, consisting of all the board members of the firms that have combined with Dentons (or those firms’ representatives)
  • Global Board, the firm’s governing body, which includes representatives from each region’s boards and includes the Chairman of the Global Board, Global Chief Executive Officer, Regional CEOs, and Global Vice-Chairpersons

In addition, the Global Board is advised on day-to-day management by the Global Management Committee, which is led by the Global CEO and is comprised of the Global CEO and the Regional CEOs, with Global Chief Business Services Officers acting as ex officio members.

Focused on solutions and outcomes
Dentons is the only global law firm to structure its narrative around how it helps its clients to grow, protect, operate, and finance their organizations. In taking an outcomes approach, we understand that our clients’ challenges often go beyond the parameters of traditional law and involve complex opportunities and challenges spanning commercial, reputational, financial, regulatory, and governance dimensions.

Purpose-driven
Dentons was the first global law firm to unveil a purpose statement and commit to being purpose-driven. Guided by our purpose, we commit to pioneering change and innovation and to bringing the best out of local and global.
