Meganne Tillay reports that the global firm, which has about 10,000 lawyers, is preparing to merge with Argentinian firm Rattagan Macchiavello Arocena and Uruguay-based firm Jiménez de Aréchaga, Viana & Brause, following approval by partners and subject to meeting regulatory requirements. The move comes less than two months after Dentons announced its merger with a Honduras-based firm, following tie-ups in Venezuela and Chile earlier this year.
