Dentons is expanding in the Caribbean.
Dentons has opened offices in the British Virgin Islands and St. Lucia as it continues its expansion in the Caribbean.
The British Virgin Islands is a popular global jurisdiction for private wealth, investment and joint venture structures.
In a statement, the firm said both offices will strengthen the firm's presence in the Caribbean and in Latin America, and its finance practices in particular. It also said the British Virgin Islands is a "world leader for excellence" in innovation and financial services.
The new office in the British Virgin Islands will be led by partner Stuart Bruce, who has experience handling complex, high-value cross-border matters in banking and finance, mergers and acquisitions, private equity and corporate and regulatory advice, the firm said.
"Dentons continues to execute its strategy to scale the firm across the Latin America and the Caribbean region despite the unprecedented challenges created by COVID-19," Dentons global chairman Joe Andrew said in the statement.
The new offices open as the firm continues to face difficulties brought on by the coronavirus in its U.K. and Middle East, as well as Parisian operations.
Earlier this year, Dentons established a double merger with Indianapolis-based firm Bingham Greenebaum Doll and Pittsburgh-based Cohen & Grigsby.
