Seventeen new partners and three legal directors have joined Dentons in Australia following their departure from DibbsBarker.
The move significantly enhances the firm’s service offering across the east coast of Australia, with additional professional staff joining along with the lawyers.
“Dentons is focused on growth right across the east coast. Since opening our Melbourne office in late 2017 we’ve already doubled our partner numbers, and with our new presence in Brisbane and additional capability in Sydney, Dentons’ local and global clients will benefit from our enhanced Australian offering,” commented Dentons CEO Australia, Ian Dardis.
The move was announced in March with the team joining their new firm this week.
The team includes 10 new partners and one director in Sydney, 2 new partners in Melbourne and 5 new partners and two directors in Brisbane.
Newly-promoted energy & resources partner Nick Thorne will be based out of the firm’s offices in Brisbane and Port Moresby, PNG; while new property & infrastructure partner David Ellenby is based in Melbourne.
Thorne re-joined the firm in 2016 and is admitted to practice in Papua New Guinea as well as Australia. Ellenby joined the firm as a graduate in 2007.
The firm, created by the merger of legacy Bryan Cave and Berwin Leighton Paisner, was granted approval to operate in UAE.
Richard Davies will continue in his role as Country Managing Partner for the UAE. The launch is a return to the region for Bryan Cave, who previously had offices in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Dubai.
