Of those, 68 were within the top echelon (Band 1 and 2), while five lawyers received the prestigious ‘Eminent Practitioner’ status acknowledging their leadership and influence with the legal profession. Reflecting on Dentons’ commitment to attracting and developing top legal talent, 20 Dentons lawyers received new rankings and 23 improved their position compared to last year. This year, 30% of ranked Dentons lawyers are women.

Along with individual recognitions, Dentons received 123 practice and sector rankings, including 14 new or improved standings, of which 49 were in Band 1 and 2. Attesting to the firm’s strong cross-border capabilities, Dentons has maintained its top rankings across all the practice areas researched by Chambers and Partners in the CEE-wide category.
