The market holds Dentons Link Legal in high regard for its strengths in aviation, construction, energy and infrastructure work. The firm is a first port of call for infrastructure players due to its vast experience in large-scale, long-term infrastructure projects, regulator relationships, and ability to go beyond transaction basics into extra layers of service like financing insurance. Atul Sharma and Nusrat Hassan are key partners for energy and infrastructure, and corporate and M&A, respectively. Managing partner Anand Srivastava is also a projects and finance contact. Five new partners recently joined the firm to shore up its corporate, disputes and projects practices. This year the firm debuts in the pharmaceuticals and life sciences table and moves up a notch in the labour and employment table.
