Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The competition practice supports us with legal support for competition-related inquiries, as well as customized courses for the company. The team has a practical, business-oriented approach, response times are adequate, and the quality of service is excellent.’
‘In comparison, I perceive that they retain talent better than other firms, where I've seen more constant turnover among junior lawyers. Dentons seems to do a better job of developing and retaining new talent.’
‘We appreciate the team for its approachability and ability to provide clear training to people without a legal background.’
