Dentons has announced its third combination globally since last week, this time with a local firm in South Korea.

The global legal giant will combine with Lee International, a Seoul-based firm with about 30 lawyers. Lee International was launched in 1961 as a patent firm and has since expanded to include mergers and acquisitions, finance, real estate, litigation and international arbitration, entertainment, and labour and employment in the information technology, biotechnology and electrical and mechanical engineering sectors.
