“As we continue to expand and adapt to the ever-evolving demands of the legal landscape, this strategic addition enables us to further solidify our position as a trusted advisor, fostering long-term, meaningful relationships with our clients,” says Nusrat Hassan, Dentons Link Legal’s managing partner, in a statement.
Dentons Link Legal has been expanding this year across practice areas, adding banking and finance partners Madhur Verma and Manoj Panzade in its newly launched GIFT City office, and Nayona Roy in its Mumbai-based TMT practice.
