As Dentons prepares to combine with a mid-sized South Korean firm, questions remain over the future of the global legal giant’s six-year-old Seoul office.

Last week, Dentons announced it was combining with Lee International, a Seoul-based domestic firm with about 30 lawyers. Meanwhile, Dentons already operates in Seoul as a foreign law practice with the office it inherited from predecessor firm McKenna Long & Aldridge after the firms merged in 2015.
