London—Dentons has been appointed to both lots of the UK Government's newly established International Trade Law panel. The panel appointment comes after an open and extensive bidding process. 

The Trade Law panel has been established to support the UK Government with the anticipated additional international trade legal issues that the UK will face following its withdrawal from the EU. The first lot will cover international trade disputes, including arbitration, and the second lot will cover free trade agreement negotiations and other non-contentious international trade advice.

Roger Matthews, International Trade partner at Dentons in London, said, "As the UK looks to re-establish itself as a trading nation outside of the EU and to navigate the web of existing international treaties, our multi-disciplinary UK Regulatory and Trade group and our extensive network of International Trade experts from across the globe will be a valuable resource for the UK government and we look forward to working with them. Dentons' global reach and multi-jurisdictional expertise were paramount to securing this appointment."

Christopher McGee-Osborne, co-lead of Dentons HM Government team, added “We’re delighted to have been appointed and that Dentons is the only law firm appointed to both Lots of this panel and to both HMG’s General Legal Advice Services Panel and its Finance & Complex Legal Services Panel, which we see as a testament to our commitment to our relationship with HM Government.”
