Dentons is pleased to announce that eight of our lawyers were ranked in this year’s IFLR1000, the guide to the world's leading financial and corporate law firms and lawyers, five of whom are receiving this honour for the first time. Overall, the Firm was recognized for its high-calibre service in six practice areas, including Banking, Capital Markets, Financial Services Regulatory, Mergers and Acquisitions, Project Finance, and Restructuring and Insolvency.

The IFLR1000 brings together only those individuals recognized by their peers and clients to be the leading figures in their areas of practice. The rankings are the result of a six-month, in-depth research project, in which the independent editorial team interviews partners from the world's leading firms and surveys 50,000 client referees.

Clients had high praise for our team, including:

• “They have experienced lawyers who provide solid work with a good understanding of our business and company history,” said a client who worked with the M&A team.
• A client who worked with the Firm on insolvency matters praised the team for “thinking outside the box and efficiency”.
• A client whom the Firm advised on a large cross-border acquisition said: “All team members on the deal performed at the same level showing great bench strength. While their technical expertise was without question, what impressed most was the high level of client service and commerciality which was at the forefront of all that they did.”

• Toby (Thoburn) B. Allan, Capital Markets
