What the Team is Known For
Strengths
As a full service corporate law firm, Dentons has expertise in every area that has mattered to us and a deep rolodex of connections to lawyers and experts in jurisdictions where they are not present.
The team shows a clear understanding of the commercial realities and strategic priorities facing Web3 businesses. Their advice is grounded not just in legal accuracy, but in how it impacts execution.
Dentons' primary strength is its multi-jurisdictional capacity. There is no other law firm in FinTech that is capable of servicing so many jurisdictional issues.
Work Highlights
Dentons evaluated federal and state regulatory issues in connection with Sixth Street Capital Partner’s capital partnership with Affirm and the purchase of up to USD4 billion of Affirm’s consumer finance products originated on its FinTech platform.
