Denton Wilde Sapte is advising new client Nasdaq OMX Group on its plans to launch a pan-European trading platform for the most actively traded stocks.
Dentons has advised OMX before, but this is its first deal for Nasdaq OMX, with the firm appointed to advise on the securities platform after February’s merger of the exchanges. The firm has also previously worked with Nasdaq but not on a project of this significance. The firm’s financial markets and regulation head, Robert Finney, is leading the Dentons team on the project, assisted by fellow financial markets partner Rosali Pretorius, technology, media and telecoms partner Dan Burge and corporate partner Martin Kitchen.
