With locations in more than three times as many countries as its competitors in the Latin America and the Caribbean region, Dentons’ opening in Grenada further fortifies its standing as the first and only Pan-Caribbean law firm in the history of the legal profession. Its Grenada launch, along with recent combinations announced in Ecuador and Bolivia, gives Dentons 33 locations across 28 countries in the region and a presence in 81 countries around the world.

Just in the first quarter of 2021, Dentons has announced or launched more combinations than any other firm did in the entirety of 2020. Increased footprint in the Caribbean complements Dentons' luxury real estate practices in Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and augments their full-service offering including an established presence in the Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, and Nevis - key offshore financial and corporate centers in the region. Dentons has broad offshore capabilities in locations such as Panama, Uruguay, Mauritius, Luxembourg, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Through meaningful partnerships, Grenada has advanced its climate change resilience and adaptation strategies, securing US$300M funding for the world’s first climate-smart city and US$42M for a climate-smart water sector. The 'Spice Island' is refining its energy policy and anticipating infrastructural development, to facilitate renewable energy and offshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) potential.

Substantial foreign direct investment flow from China, the US, the UK and Trinidad & Tobago, are resulting in both economic policy reform and a tax-friendly Citizenship-by-Investment (CBI) scheme. An expanding luxury tourism and real estate offering, and visa-free travel, further strengthen the Grenada commercial landscape.

"Dentons’ new office in Grenada will further enable us to meet client needs in a priority market and strengthen our cross-border capabilities," said Elliott Portnoy, Global CEO of Dentons. "We are able to better connect clients to our leading talent in the Eastern Caribbean, as well as to our 19,000+ people in 204 locations across 81 countries around the globe."

"As our clients emerge from the pandemic, they are facing bigger, broader and more complex challenges and are asking us, what’s next?" said Joe Andrew, Global Chairman of Dentons. "The answer to that question is talent. With over 19,000 people in more than 200 locations, Dentons has the talent to help our clients navigate their unique needs, wherever those needs may be."

"Dentons' expansion into Grenada emphasizes our commitment to efficiently serve clients with global and regional interests, transacting throughout the Latin America and the Caribbean region", said Dustin Delany, Managing Partner of the Dentons Caribbean Community (CARICOM). "With 12 offices covering 14 jurisdictions in the Caribbean region, Dentons leverages global reach and top-tier talent at the crossroads of exceptional service and radical innovation."
