Andrew Chan, who the firm said boasts over 10 years of corporate legal experience across Australia, Asia and Europe, has been appointed as a partner.
Dentons chief executive Ian Dardis said that the firm had been focused on building a strong corporate practice in Australia, and that Mr Chan’s experience in major overseas markets would be beneficial for clients, both overseas and domestic.
“Andrew’s extensive cross-border experience complements our growing corporate offering and we’re thrilled to have him as part of our growing Melbourne team,” he said.
Mr Chan added that he was excited to be joining a leading global law firm that has a growing presence in Melbourne.
