Salans

Salans was a global law firm that provided a range of legal services to multinational clients. The firm was founded in 1948 in New York and initially focused on providing tax and immigration advice to individuals and corporations. Over time, Salans expanded its services to include a broad range of legal disciplines, including corporate, banking, and securities law.

During the 2000s and 2010s, Salans experienced significant growth and expansion. The firm went through a series of mergers and acquisitions, acquiring several smaller law firms and establishing new offices in key locations around the world. By the time of its rebranding in 2013, Salans had become one of the largest law firms in the world, with over 1,000 lawyers and 20 offices.

In 2013, Salans underwent a major rebranding exercise and was absorbed into the SNR Denton firm, which was later merged with Canada's Fraser Milner Casgrain (FMC) law firm to form Dentons. The name change marked a significant shift in the firm's strategic direction, as it sought to adapt to changing market conditions and compete more effectively in a rapidly evolving global legal market.

Today, while Salans is no longer an independent law firm, elements of the firm's legacy continue to shape the global operations of Dentons. Despite its relatively short history as an independent entity, Salans played an important role in shaping the global legal market during its time.
