About

Provided by Dentons

The Dentons Corporate/M&A group is distinguished by its position as one of the very few firms doing sophisticated transactional work across Europe while being at the same time truly ‘in and of the community’, culturally knowledgeable and pan-European, backed by decades of experience in being on the ground supporting the business ambitions of local and international businesses.

From South East Europe to Western Europe and CIS, our Dentons Europe Corporate team consists of more than 550 lawyers across more than 28 offices throughout 20 countries: Azerbaijan, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Kazakhstan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. 

We are exceptionally well placed to manage and execute regional work, including English and New York qualified lawyers. Our team handles complex local and multijurisdictional transactions where the interaction and cooperation of our different offices and geographies is a key benefit.  

We are known not just for our local knowledge but our in-depth expertise in key industry sectors. Evidenced by our regular work on large technology M&A matters involving US acquirers: Microsoft’s acquisition of Minit; sale of Slovakia-based Sli.do. to Cisco Systems, Poland-based RemoteMyApp to Intel Capital and Exponea to Bloomreach.
