Dentons, Canada’s Global Law Firm, announces the appointment of Scott Wilson as Office Managing Partner (OMP) in Vancouver, effective August 1, 2024.

“As we continue to innovate and modernize our business, our managing partners serve as strong advocates for Dentons, supporting the success of our Firm and our clients,” said Tim Haney, CEO of Dentons Canada. “I’m confident that, with his experience and enthusiasm, Scott will cultivate a dynamic environment where our people flourish and our clients are strongly supported in meeting their business objectives.”

Scott Wilson brings a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to the Firm's values. A partner and leader of the Vancouver Real Estate group for the last few years, Scott has been with Dentons for 16 years, advising clients on all aspects of their commercial real estate transactions, including acquisitions, financings, dispositions, leasing, marketing and project sales. A lifelong resident of British Columbia’s Lower Mainland, he is extremely familiar with how the region’s various sectors operate.

"I am honoured to step into the role of Office Managing Partner and collaborate with our talented Vancouver team to drive our Firm’s success forward. Together, we will continue to provide the exceptional service our clients expect from Dentons while fostering an inclusive and supportive workplace for our people,” said Scott Wilson.

Scott succeeds John Sandrelli, who held the role since July 2017 and will continue to contribute to the Firm’s success through his leadership position within the national Restructuring, Insolvency and Bankruptcy group. “John’s commitment to Dentons and its clients has contributed significantly to the success and growth of the Firm. On behalf of the National Board and National Management Committee, I would like to thank John for his dedication and achievements during his tenure,” added Tim Haney.

Scott and John have been working in close collaboration over the past few months to ensure a smooth transition of leadership in the Vancouver office. They will both continue servicing their clients and will maintain active practices.
