The world’s largest law firm aims to get bigger as it seeks to replicate the Big Four accounting firm model.
Dentons will have more than 6,600 lawyers and professionals after its merger with McKenna Long & Aldridge. The combination is part of a growth strategy that envisions becoming a one-stop shop for large corporations as well as small businesses, the Wall Street Journal (sub. req.) reports. Earlier this year, the firm announced a merger with Chinese law firm Dacheng.
And legal consultant Peter Zeughauser says Dentons’ expansion could offer a hint of the future. “I think we’re going to see a 10,000-lawyer law firm within five years,” he told the Wall Street Journal.
