Following its merger with Chinese law firm Dacheng, Dentons is closing its Singapore office and will use Dacheng Wong Alliance (DCWA), Dacheng’s Singapore joint-law venture, to service clients.
According to reports, staff are currently being offered the opportunity to relocate to other Dentons practices.
The Dentons office in Singapore, which focuses on banking and finance and also does India work, has just two partners – Markus Bienntoft and office head Matthew Cox – and six lawyers in total.
DCWA, headed by managing principal Aloysius Wee, has nine principals in total.
