The new leaders were appointed by Tomasz Dąbrowski, CEO of Dentons Europe, in consultation with the Dentons Europe Board and the global practice and sector leadership. The appointments reflect the mandatory periodic review and rotation of key regional leadership roles, as set out in the Dentons Europe partnership agreement.
Tomasz Dąbrowski commented, “I am thrilled to congratulate these 37 talented partners – all of whom are recognized as leaders in their fields – on their European leadership appointments. In their new roles, they will be responsible for driving the strategic development of their respective practice and sector groups in order to enhance our service offering, deepen key client relationships, develop and attract talent and build our market profile.”
In line with Dentons’ polycentric culture, the appointments reflect the diversity of the Europe region. The 37 appointed leaders are based in 12 different offices across Europe and over one third (35%) of the new leaders are women.
