The Australian team will be headed by partner Ben Allen and reflects clients’ growing demand for guidance in the areas of data privacy, greenwashing, modern slavery and corporate governance.
“International supply chains, global IT systems and cross-border regulation mean many businesses are wrestling with complex issues and can be exposed to significant legal and reputational risks without knowing it,” he said.
“Dentons global footprint makes us an ideal partner to investigate and mitigate these risks, and we expect this will be a practice in high demand from clients.”
Dentons global GCI practice is co-chaired by Berlin-based partner Judith Aron and Washington-based partner Maxwell Carr-Howard.
“In an increasingly unpredictable world, clients are dealing with a myriad of problems, and our global presence and understanding of the different legal and political landscapes in which our clients operate allows us to help clients face these issues around the globe,” Ms Aron said.
“We have deep relationships with the leading enforcement agencies and are well positioned to assist clients manage the intersection of local and global risks and deal with issues like corruption, environmental concerns, workplace health and safety, data privacy and employee behaviour.”
