Dentons on Monday said it is launching a combination with Indian law firm Link Legal, giving the global law firm a domestic foothold in India's large but historically isolated legal market.
The combination will add 130 lawyers in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad to Dentons' vast legal franchise, while allowing Link Legal to tap into Dentons' platform of more than 20,000 professionals in 80-plus countries.
A 1961 law prohibits non-Indian law firms from practicing in the country. But the firms said Dentons Link Legal will still be operated by Indian lawyers, who will maintain local control over billing rates and recruitment. In the 1990s, the Reserve Bank of India, the country's central bank, allowed three international firms -- White & Case, Ashurst and Chadbourne & Parke -- to open and operate what they called "liaison offices" to advise clients on transactional matters without representing them in courts.that the 1961 law applied to both litigation and transactional matters.
