Dentons

We only have limited information for this firm. Consider the following firms which have provided more information:

Dentons provides 'very commercially focused' advice to institutional investors as well as corporate venturers on their investments into and funding of a range of companies, including those in the energy and cybersecurity space. The team is stage agnostic and is equally as comfortable advising on Series A mandates, as it is Series C and beyond, and is able to effectively leverage complementary practice areas as a corollary of the firm's full-service offering. Although it handles a considerable volume of domestic mandates, the firm's sweet-spot lies in resourcing complex multi-jurisdictional matters, where it is effectively able to draw from the firm's vast global network. 'Very commercially-focused' team head Joseph Altendorff continues to lead from the front, although he is also often aided by 'a number of highly talented lawyers', including Joseph Collingwood.
