Edina SchweizerDentons

Dentons remains a key port of call in the marketplace, pairing the bench strength of its global network (over 160 locations in over 80 countries worldwide) with the expertise of its team to advise local and international banks (including UniCredit, Deutsche Bank), funds, insurance companies and corporates in such sectors as real estate, automobiles, oil and gas, e-commerce and aviation, on high-value, multi-jurisdictional transactions. The group’s full offering covers real estate, project and acquisition finance, regulatory compliance, insolvency, derivatives and capital markets. The practice is headed by Edina Schweizer, who arrived in June 2024 from Noerr, and who applies over two decades of experience to transactional and capital markets matters. Another key figure is Gabriella Pataki, who specialises in restructurings and insolvencies.
