Dentons recruits 50-strong Budapest office of White & Case
In what may be a sign of things to come, an entire office is making a mass 'lateral hire' move - as the full team of partners, other lawyers and staff shift to Dentons, impressed by the expansion of its global network into China and the US.
Buda Castle, Budapest
Dentons in Hungary will have a total of some 40 to 50 lawyers in Hungary - including about 30 coming from White & Case - from 3 May, the date of the move, making it one of the largest in the country. The Budapest partners of White & Case who have led the negotiations say that they are particularly impressed by the expansion of the Dentons international network through its recent tie-ups.
No office for White & Case
White & Case has confirmed that it will now be without an office in the country - but says that it will still be working on cross-border matters in the region. Source: Australasian Lawyer
