Ten months after Dentons reached an agreement to combine with Chinese legal juggernaut Dacheng, the firm announced Tuesday that the deal is now final. The union brings Dentons’ total head count to roughly 6,600 lawyers in 125 offices in 50 countries, easily surpassing Baker & McKenzie’s 4,000-plus lawyers to make Dentons the world’s largest law firm.
The announcement comes just a week after Dentons revealed plans to combine with additional large firms in Australia and Singapore. That three-way deal will add 500-lawyer Gadens, Australia’s seventh-largest firm, and 200-lawyer Rodyk & Davidson, Singapore’s oldest firm. Those mergers would bring Dentons’ head count to about 7,200 lawyers and extend its reach to 80 offices in Asia alone.
