One of the world’s largest global law firms is separating from its partner firm in mainland China because of the tightening regulatory environment.
Dentons announced that it will split up with its Chinese partner firm, Dacheng, which joined its business in 2015. The move marks the latest response of global firms to the tightening and restrictive data and cybersecurity controls from Beijing. Dentons bills itself as the world’s largest law firm by the number of employees, and the sixth largest by revenue.
