MadridDenton Wilde Sapte’s Spanish partner Denton Lupicinio has hired executive consultancy Heidrick & Struggles to hunt for US and UK allies after the London firm last month decided to ditch its eight-member European network.

The 40-lawyer Denton International (DI) member called in Heidrick & Struggles after being told at the beginning of March that the DI network was to be disbanded, leaving Denton Lupicinio’s international reach severely hindered.
