The Utah arm of global law firm Dentons has recruited nearly all of the lawyers in Armstrong Teasdale’s 4-year-old Salt Lake City office.

Shareholder Peter Donaldson, who rejoined Dentons Durham Jones Pinegar last month, said his group has been fielding offers from several firms with offices in the region and sought a platform that could onboard as many of his team members as possible. Donaldson spent less than one year at Armstrong Teasdale beginning in August 2023 after practicing at the legacy firm of Durham Jones Pinegar since 2008.
