Dentons’ unmatched global presence coupled with its recent expansion in the U.S. is a real draw. The firm is committed to doing something unique, challenging the traditional and innovating in the legal profession with an emphasis on knowing and understanding communities around the world for the benefit of clients. It’s exciting and I look forward to being a part of it alongside a distinguished group of former policymakers and opinion leaders.

— Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, commenting on the reasons why he decided to join Dentons, the largest law firm in the world. Gingrich, who isn’t a lawyer, will work as a senior adviser in the firm’s lobbying group, even though he’s not a lobbyist.

(Elliott Portnoy, Global Chief Executive Officer of Dentons, had this to say of Gingrich’s joining that particular practice group: “He is not a lobbyist and Dentons has no plans to use him as a lobbyist.”)
