With over eight years of private practice experience in New York and Toronto, and close to a decade of in-house experience, Ken Szeto is skilled in complex commercial relationship and contract structuring across various industries, with a focus on the technology sector.

“We are happy to welcome Ken to the team,” said Leanne Krawchuk, National Leader of the Corporate group. “His extensive M&A and corporate/commercial in-house background adds significant depth to our national and cross-border client service capabilities.”

“I am thrilled to join Dentons and leverage the Firm's extensive national and global platform to support the growth of my practice,” said Ken Szeto. “I have had the pleasure of crossing paths and connecting with members of Dentons’ Corporate group in the past, so I am confident in the collaborative and innovative environment here.”

Most recently, Ken was General Counsel & Corporate Secretary of a leading Canadian software provider in the investor relations space, handling the company's legal, strategic direction, enterprise risk, privacy and information security functions. During his tenure, he led both the IPO to take the company public on the TSX and the going private transaction where the company was acquired by a US-based private equity.
