DENTONS' SUCCESSFUL CHALLENGE OF THE AMERICAN LAWYER

Dentons calls for a client-centric approach for measuring law firm success

In 2014, Dentons publicly announced that it would no longer release average global profits per partner/lawyer data.

We believe it is impossible for a single global number to reflect accurately the diverse economies in which our clients and we operate. We also believe the ongoing focus by the media on global profitability figures is a distraction from what clients really care about, which is the quality of work provided by a law firm.

Dentons' 2014 letter to the editor of The American Lawyer explains our position.
