New York—Dentons joined the ranks of Law360's 2014 Global 20 list in the number 10 spot, marking the Firm's first appearance on the survey. Going beyond quantitative metrics such as number of locations and headcount, Law360''s rankings evaluated cross-border and international matters handled in 2013 for the breadth of legal services provided and the size and complexity of the work. Our selection to the list underscores Dentons' global presence and its work on some of the largest, most significant and groundbreaking international and cross-border matters over the past year.

"Since our founding a year ago, we have moved quickly to fulfill our mission to connect clients to talented lawyers around the world by building on our far-reaching global network and innovative plans for future long-term growth," remarked Global CEO Elliott Portnoy. In an interview with Law360 about the Dentons combination, he said, "It literally has been transformative."

"This is just the most recent recognition confirming the wisdom of the Dentons combination," said Global Chairman Joe Andrew. "It is a credit to every lawyer and professional in the Firm as we continue to create the global synergies that allow us to offer clients the highest caliber legal talent wherever they need it around the world."

Dentons' inclusion in the Global 20 follows last year's unprecedented three-way combination between Salans LLP, Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP and SNR Denton, which immediately enhanced the Firm's geographic reach and practice and sector capabilities around the world. With offices throughout Africa, Asia Pacific, Canada, Central Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Russia, CIS and the Caucasus, UK and US, the Firm's 6,600 lawyers and professionals in more than 75 locations spanning 50-plus countries are dedicated to providing clients with consistent, high-quality service.

Law360's acknowledgment of the Firm's work comes on the heels of the Dentons' recent recognition by The American Lawyer in its 2014 Global Legal Awards, which recognize and honor the best cross-border legal work across a wide range of practice areas and disciplines. The Firm won the Global M&A Deal of the Year: Latin America/Peru and Global Pro Bono Deal of the Year (Environmental) awards, acknowledging the quality and strength of the Firm's global platform as well as its commitment to global social responsibility.
