Tracking extraordinary strategic growth in the market, Dentons ascended to No. 5 globally in PitchBook’s Q3 2023 Global League Tables. The firm also ranked first overall for all deals and venture capital deals outside the US.

The advancement in the league tables mirrored strong overall performance for the group as it saw 25% in year over year growth in 2023 as it aggressively executed against its strategic plan in the face of market headwinds and retrenchment by select competitors. A differentiated, broad based global service offering structured to meet clients’ needs accounted for this continued growth in market share. 

The firm previously reported that its US Venture Technology Group will have succeeded in attracting approximately 15 new partners and counsel in H2 2023 in New York, Boston, San Francisco, Miami and Washington, D.C.  

Reflecting the sustained excellence and continued growth of the group, as well as its consistent ability to drive value for investors and emerging companies in a difficult market, Dentons also led the industry in in key sectors as energy, healthcare and fintech along with AI and cyber representing emerging growth companies, venture capital firms and corporate strategic investors along with PE firms many of whom retain the team in their expansion beyond the US.
