DENTONS LAUNCHES IN AUSTRALIA
Dentons recently formalized its combination with the offices of nearly century-old law firm Gadens, minus some offices, following a split within the Australian firm. The alliance means Dentons will have offices in Sydney and Perth in Australia, and Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea. Gadens in Brisbane reportedly won’t be making a name change but will be part of the Dentons network, while Gadens in Melbourne will remain as such with no ties to Dentons, which now serves 84 markets in Pacific Rim countries.
