Dentons's business law capabilities take in work permit applications, intra-company transfers and the preparation of employment contracts for foreign candidates. The group’s diverse client roster regularly features multinationals working in the tech, financial services, film and entertainment, oil and gas, manufacturing and professional services segments. Toronto-based Henry Chang and Vancouver-based Helen Park share leadership of the practice. Chang is well-versed in both US and Canadian immigration law, and Park has extensive experience in the gamut of work permit applications. Following the February 2024 promotion of Jonathan Mor to the partnership, Denise Alba is the key associate-level contact.
