Dentons is pleased to announce that 21 of our lawyers have been ranked in this year’s IFLR1000: The Guide to the World's Leading Financial Law Firms. Of these, an impressive 10 were ranked for the first time, doubling our previous year’s results. Overall, the Firm was recognized for its high-calibre service in six practice areas, including Banking, Capital Markets, Financial Services Regulatory, Mergers and Acquisitions, Project Finance, and Restructuring and Insolvency.

The IFLR1000 brings together only those individuals recognized by their peers and clients to be the leading figures in their areas of practice. The rankings are the result of a six-month, in-depth research project, in which the independent editorial team interviews partners from the world's leading firms and surveys 50,000 client referees.

Clients had high praise for our team, including:

• "Technically brilliant, great deal managers and easy to work with."
• "Knowledgeable, attentive, bright, entrepreneurial and solution focused." 
• "The team at Dentons provides valuable insight with a high level of customer service. The firm is responsive and timely."
• "Dentons provides a very high quality of work. Their depth of knowledge is impressive, and they apply it using clear communications and practical advice. They have an excellent international network which is valuable to us."
• "Dentons has a strong team in Canada. We have used their lawyers in a number of provinces. We also draw on the firm's global presence in those situations where our clients are seeking expansion outside Canada and the US."
