Dentons has announced that Dominic Pellew, formerly a partner with Baker Botts, has joined the firm as a Partner in the International Arbitration Group, sharing his time between the London and Moscow offices.
Pellew is dual-qualified as a solicitor in England and as an avocat in France. He is fluent in Russian, and is recognized as one of the counsel and arbitrators of choice in "East/West" international arbitrations, particularly those having a Russian or CIS component.
Dominic said of his move to Dentons that the firm is, "the perfect fit for me." He continued that "I have known the arbitration team for years. The Russian and CIS network is second to none, and their market-leading reputation for energy work makes Dentons the ideal platform for someone with my profile."
Jean-Christophe Honlet, co-head of Dentons' International Arbitration group in Europe, said of the addition that, "We have known Dominic for a long time. He is a truly experienced and respected attorney in international arbitrations having a Russian or CIS angle. He brings together arbitration knowledge and language skills that few can match on that segment of the market. In light of Dentons' depth in Russia and the CIS, it was only a matter of time before our paths would come together."
