Toronto Shutterstock Dentons’ Canada arm has boosted its insurance capability with the hire of a nine-strong team including five partners from Cassels Brock & Blackwell. The move deepens the global giant’s capability across corporate, regulatory and disputes with the firm identifying the sector as a ‘huge priority’ in 2021. The team, which will be spread across Dentons’ Toronto and Calgary offices, is led by rated regulatory specialist Laurie LaPalme, a longstanding Cassels partner, having joined the firm from Torys in 2003.
