Sydney—Today Dentons, the world’s largest law firm has launched a previously announced combination with Fisher Jeffries in Adelaide, to further strengthen the foundation for Dentons to become the leading global law firm in Australasia.

Dentons’ now expanded capability, across financial services, corporate, dispute resolution, construction and engineering, employment, manufacturing and real estate further enhances the Firm’s ability to deliver a seamless, integrated national solution to clients across Australia. In South Australia, the firm will be known as Dentons Fisher Jeffries.

The combination adds 11 new partners, and connects clients seamlessly to Dentons lawyers in all major Australian cities, as well as more than 10,000 lawyers around the globe.

“Fisher Jeffries has an excellent reputation in South Australia as a specialist commercial firm, built on an intimate understanding of the local business market," said Australia Chair and Australasia Region CEO, Doug Stipanicev. "We can now provide our clients with access to 77 partners across Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth."

“Since combining with Dentons in 2016, locally we have been focused on strategic growth. Since then, Dentons has been named the fastest growing law firm in Australia and our combination with Fisher Jeffries not only formalises our longstanding relationship, but also connects our clients to new opportunities both domestically and globally.”

In September, Dentons announced its intention to combine with two LAC firms, Rattagan Macchiavello Arocena in Argentina and Jiménez de Aréchaga, Viana & Brause in Uruguay, and with five firms in Africa, LEAD Advogados in Angola, Sayarh & Menjra in Morocco, Fernanda Lopes & Associados Advogados in Mozambique, Kyagaba and Otatiina Advocates in Uganda, and Eric Silwamba, Jalasi and Linyama Legal Practitioners in Zambia. Dentons' partners have since approved the two LAC and five Africa combinations. Recently, Dentons also announced its intention to combine with three leading law firms in seven days: Kensington Swan in New Zealand, Gustavo Zacapa y Asociados in Honduras, and Lee International in South Korea. Dentons' partners have approved all three combinations and Dentons Muñoz Zacapa has launched in Honduras. Also in 2019, Dentons' partners approved a combination with MawereSibanda in Zimbabwe, and Dentons launched Dentons Venezuela in Venezuela and Dentons Larraín Rencoret in Chile.
