Dentons has launched a previously announced combination with Kensington Swan in New Zealand to further its Australasia growth strategy. 

Along with previous combinations in Australia and Papua New Guinea, the launch strengthens the foundation for Dentons to become a leading global law firm in Australasia and positions Dentons as the largest global law firm in New Zealand. 

With new offices in Auckland and Wellington, Dentons can now connect clients to a team of more than 100 lawyers in New Zealand who can meet the needs of clients across a wide range of industries. 

“Dentons has seen significant growth in the region since 2016 and with new offices in Auckland and Wellington, Dentons is now a regional powerhouse who can provide clients with access to legal talent in all of the major Australasian markets,” said Doug Stipanicev, CEO of Dentons’ Australasia region.  

Dentons’ partners approved more whole-firm combinations in 2019 than any other law firm. So far in 2020, Dentons has launched Dentons Bingham Greenebaum and Dentons Cohen & Grigsby, the first step in forming a truly national law firm in the United States as part of Dentons’ “Project Golden Spike.”
