The law firm of Dentons
“The dissolution of a respected firm like Heenan Blailie is a sobering event for all of us in the Canadian legal community” said Chris Pinnington, Dentons’ Canada Chief Executive Officer. “However, we are pleased that our new colleagues have chosen Dentons as the firm best suited to meet the needs and expectations of their clients and to enable them to continue to build their successful practices. They enhance our strength in a number of our key practices and sectors, in strategic alignment with our Canadian and global platform.”
Our newly announced partners and counsel are: Wendy Del Mul (counsel) and Allen Garson (partner) are joining Dentons’ Corporate group in Toronto; Kenneth Kraft (partner) and John Salmas (partner) are joining Dentons’ In solvency group in Toronto; and Tommaso Nanci (counsel) joins Dentons’ Infrastructure/P3 group in Montreal.
11 additional associates joined Dentons Canada. In Montreal, Audrey Myette (Tax) and Lampros Stougiannos (Infrastructure/P3); in Toronto, Jayme Alter (Entertainment), Andrew Bourns (Business Law), Liane Fong (Business Law); Radha Kholsa (Financial Services), Michael Shedletsky (Entertainment), Larry Nevsky (Tax) and Rahim Suleiman (Business Law); and in Calgary, Darryl Douglas (Energy Transactions) and Danielle Mayhew (Corporate Securities).
