Moscow—Mergers.ru, a major Russian analytics portal, ranked Dentons as the number one law firm in mergers and acquisitions in Russia in its annual M&A rankings. The ranking, published in March 2016, is based on the median number of transactions handled in 2015 and their aggregate value.

Dentons' Corporate and Mergers and Acquisitions practice is one of the largest and longest established in Russia, with more than 50 lawyers. The practice handles some of the most challenging and high-profile transactions in Russia and abroad. Last year Dentons strengthened the practice by adding three outstanding partners and several lawyers from leading international law firms.

The ranking reflects the volume and number of M&A transactions handled by legal advisors. Indicators for these are normalized (adjusted to a common scale) and weighted, and participants are then ranked according to the weighted and normalized values. Weighting was determined by the compiler of the ranking (Cbonds Group) based on the opinions of experts.
