There's just one continent where Dentons hasn't formed a partnership with a local law firm in the last six months: Antarctica.
In Africa, on the other hand, the the world's largest law firm continued its global expansion Wednesday, announcing plans to merge with firms in Angola, Morocco, Mozambique, Uganda and Zambia. The announcement comes on the heels of the firm's recent combinations with firms in South Korea, Honduras, Uruguay and New Zealand. The firm also added capability in Italy, looking to launch a U.S./Italy cross-border practice in June.
The new partnership firms are LEAD Advogados in Angola; Sayarh & Menjra in Morocco; Fernanda Lopes & Associados Advogados in Mozambique; Kyagaba and Otatiina Advocates in Uganda; and Eric Silwamba, Jalasi and Linyama Legal Practitioners in Zambia.
