Insights and Commentary from Dentons dentons.com Insights and Commentary from Dentons On March 31, 2013, three pre-eminent law firms—Salans, Fraser Milner Casgrain, and SNR Denton—combined to form Dentons, a Top 10 global law firm with more than 2,500 lawyers and professionals worldwide. This document was authored by representatives of one of the founding firms prior to our combination launch, and it continues to be oered to provide our clientsG withro thewing information with they need to do business in an increasingly complex, interconnected and competitive marketplace. The role of government has never been more critical January 2010 The Qatar Update Official Gazette 11 of 2009 Editor’s comment Welcome to the first Qatar Update of 2010, which details new law published in the Official Gazette for November 2009, plus upcoming legal developments. Noteworthy this month is Law No. (19) of 2009, which amends some provisions of the 2008 Rent Law. The new law allows the rental committee to hear rental dispute applications filed by tenants irrespective of whether the lease is registered. Any application by landlords will not be heard unless the lease is registered. Previously applications from either party could not be heard by the rental committee unless the lease was registered. As registration is the landlord’s obligation, this caused difficulties for tenants who had legitimate disputes which could not be heard because the landlord had failed to register the lease. Law No. (19) also extends the circumstances where a landlord may terminate a lease early. Now landlords may end leases where they, their wives, children, parents or other legal dependants require the property for living accommodation. Possession can be obtained only where the landlord has no other available accommodation, and the tenant must be given six months’ notice. Landlords now able to increase rents Keeping with real estate news, February will see the end of the two-year restriction on rental increases imposed by Council of Ministers Decision No. (9) of 2008. Since 15 February 2008 landlords have been prohibited from increasing rents for all leases entered into on or after 1 January 2005. The Decision also restricted rental increases permitted for leases entered into before that date. Both these restrictions will come to an end next month, and landlords will be able to increase rents, provided that the lease contract does not provide otherwise. The first change to the Rent Law is welcome news for Denton Wilde Sapte’s Real Estate department. It had been a constant problem for our tenant clients where cases could not be heard by the rental committee because the landlord had not registered the lease. It is a comfort for tenants to have the security that their applications will be heard even where their lease is not registered. However, the end of the prohibition on rental increases is likely to create new problems for tenants where landlords attempt unfair increases. Real Estate is one of four key sectors for Denton Wilde Sapte, and the department in the Doha office has grown rapidly over the last two years. We advise a wide spectrum of local and international clients on sales and purchases, development, construction, leasing and real estate finance and have advised on many of Doha’s major property transactions including those at the Pearl, Lusail, West Bay and the QSTP. Our clients include developers, investors, retailers, leisure owners and operators, lenders, government and public sector clients. Our Litigation team provides support and deals with a wide variety of rental disputes for both landlords and tenants.

  • ?Mckenna Long?????Dentons??????
    ?McKenna Long?????Dentons?????? Consolidation at the top of the global legal industry is showing no signs of stopping with the confirmation that Dentons, fresh off its last big international tie-up, wants to again walk down the aisle — this time with U.S.-bound McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP. Denton's potential addition of the Atlanta-based, 575-lawyer McKenna Long would add a significant new branch to Dentons' growing international structure, which now includes about 2,500 lawyers in 50 countries. If completed, the merger would bring Dentons to a top-three spot in the industry by size, with about 3,100 lawyers. In McKenna Long, Dentons would acquire a well-regarded but somewhat undifferentiated general services firm with solid roots in government contracts, established offices in a handful of major U.S. markets, a network of Washington contacts and no significant international profile. Among its more notable offerings is the firm's intellectual property and technology practice led by D.C.- and Seoul-based partner Song Jung, which has done considerable work for Korean tech giant LG Corp., among others. The addition of McKenna Long "adds to [Dentons'] capacities in D.C. and Los Angeles and San Francisco,” said firm management consultant Eric Seeger, a principal at legal consultant firm Altman Weil Inc. "They already had Chicago, and it gives them a large Atlanta office." For the McKenna Long partners now considering the deal, joining Dentons would immediately vault them from an increasingly squeezed U.S. middle tier into a global network with a slew of multinational clients, but one that is likely still experiencing growing pains from repeated cross-border mergers, experts say.

With effective records management, including corporate document retention policies, now high on the agenda for law firms in the wake of Enron and similar scandals, there has been a suggestion that in an ideal world, the best possible approach is a combination of a conventional document management system linked to a records management system that, like LegalKEY, could handle both paper and electronic files. Hummingbird will now be able to deliver this integrated solution from one source.

  • Law Firm Mergers: a Tasty Concoction?
    Law firm mergers: a tasty concoction? Introduction The much heralded impact of deregulation has been making waves in the legal industry for a couple of years now, with the introduction of Alternative Business Structures creating new competition in the industry and causing existing law firms to take a step back and examine their next strategic move in light of these market changes. Amidst all this change, few law firms have considered how their brands are affected and can be utilised to help them develop a competitive edge in this new legal landscape. Intangible Business brought this issue to the industry’s attention back in September 2012, when it issued a report comparing law firm brands to chocolate bar brands. The light-hearted campaign encouraged law firms and legal commentators to suggest which law firm brands best resembled which chocolate brands. It highlighted the important message that in this brave new world, law firms needed to wise up to the value and potential their brands could hold if they were to compete with heavyweight consumer brands entering the market for the first time. Since then, a flurry of law firm mergers have been announced as the legal market consolidates in response to the changes. The process of bringing two or more firms’ brands together to create one enticing brand proposition is similar to how mixologists capitalise on individual spirits and mixers to create cocktails. Intangible Business has used this concept to invite the legal industry to compare the big law firm mergers to cocktails to highlight the brand management issues at stake when law firms enter into merger negotiations.
