Dentons is to invest in and test new technology from around the world under a newly-launched venture called NextLaw Labs.
NextLaw Labs, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dentons, will focus on developing and investing in new products, services and fledgling technology companies, with the ambitious goal to “transform the practice of law.”
The plan is for NextLaw Labs to develop a suite of technologies using Dentons lawyers as a global testing ground for new products. Dentons is set to become the biggest law firm in the world, housing around 6,600 lawyers, after it announced in January that it is to merge with China’s largest law firm, Dacheng.
NextLaw Labs is spearheaded by Dan Jansen, who has been hired in as its chief executive officer and who most recently founded and ran Los Angeles-headquartered alternative advertising and online sponsorship business Virtual Greats.
