Dentons US on Friday named John Holahan as its new managing partner. He will work alongside Dentons US CEO Sonia Martin and Dentons US Chair Keith Moskowitz in an effort to help execute a strategic plan that the firm says is "laser focused on the United States."

Holahan, according to a firm news release, joined Dentons as a capital markets lawyer 20 years ago, and since that time has served in numerous leadership roles, including co-lead for the capital markets regulatory team and vice chair of the firm's U.S. board.
