Elliott I. Portnoy (born November 1, 1965) is an American attorney and the global chief executive officer of Dentons—a law firm that launched March 28, 2013 with the combination of US/UKMEA firm SNR Denton, Canada's Fraser Milner Casgrain and France's Salans. Dentons is now the largest law firm in the world.[1]
Portnoy was previously the chief executive of SNR Denton, a combination between Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal LLP and Denton Wilde Sapte.[2] At 41, he took over as chairman of Sonnenschein, making him the youngest partner to serve in the role and the first outside Chicago, where that firm was founded in 1906.[3]
