Calgary—Dentons is proud to congratulate Courtney Burton, Partner in our Calgary office, on her recent appointment as the Canada Region lead for Women LEAD, Dentons’ global women’s affinity group focused on supporting and building the success of women in the Firm.

Women LEAD was created to foster an environment that attracts, develops, retains, promotes and inspires women business leaders and builds networks with our clients and the communities in which we work. Through targeted business development support, mentoring opportunities, networking events and client events, LEAD creates a platform for women to excel in legal practice and business leadership.

“Courtney brings strong leadership capabilities and a steadfast commitment to the advancement of women, both within the Firm and the legal community,” said Jillian Frank, Partner and Chief Talent Officer at Dentons. “She is active in numerous women’s initiatives, and exemplifies the highest standards of the profession, which will facilitate her ability to excel in this role and provide meaningful contributions to this important program.”

“Promoting the advancement of women is at the forefront of my personal and professional activities,” said Courtney. “I feel honoured to be given the opportunity to embark on this exciting opportunity and look forward to accomplishing great things for women, not only at Dentons, but also in the broader legal and business communities.” 

Courtney will continue her legal practice in the energy, corporate, and derivatives risk management and regulatory compliance sectors.
