In a push to grow its presence in an increasingly competitive Toronto legal market, Dentons has added five lawyers from local litigation and real estate boutique McLean & Kerr, which will close its doors after the moves.

McLean & Kerr managing partner Todd Davidson and real estate litigation partner Sharon Addison are joining the global legal giant as partners in its real estate and litigation and dispute resolution group, respectively. McLean & Kerr partners Elaine Gray, Leanne Fasciano, Stuart LeMesurier are also joining Dentons as counsel in Toronto.
