Significant events
- “In July 2025, the closure of the Group's Cairo office was announced, which will ultimately see Dentons' presence in Egypt moved away from the UK and Middle East to the Dentons Africa region. At the time of this report, the transfer of mandates and the winding up and closure of Dentons Egypt LLC has not yet been concluded.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
