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 Europe's Salans, and is now the largest law firm in the world.〔http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2013/04/02/fresh-off-3-way-merger-dentons-eyes-more-growth/〕 Portnoy was previously the chief executive of SNR Denton, a combination between Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal LLP and Denton Wilde Sapte.〔http://legaltimes.typepad.com/blt/2010/09/snr-denton-goes-live.html〕 At 41 when he took over as chairman of Sonnenschein, he was the youngest partner to serve in the role and the first outside Chicago, where that firm was founded in 1906.〔http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2006/06/23/sonnenschein-names-new-chairman-and-portnoys-not-complaining/〕 As chairman, he oversaw the growth of Sonnenschein to nearly 800 lawyers and other professionals, including the addition of 100 new attorneys from Thacher Proffitt & Wood LLP on Jan. 1, 2009.〔http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/09_04/b4117080604055.htm〕 Consistent with Portnoy's aim to address the globalization of client needs, his leadership transformed Sonnenschien from its Chicago-based roots into the global firm it is today. In line with Portnoy’s business vision, the combination of Dentons and Chinese law firm 大成 was announced in January 2015 which created the world’s largest law firm upon completion. In April 2015, Dentons US agreed to a merger with Atlanta-based law firm McKenna Long & Aldridge which was completed in June of that year. In November 2015, Dentons completed its combination with 大成 and now has 125 offices across 50-plus countries, with approximately 6,600 lawyers. Dentons has been ranked one of the world's top 20 Global Elite law firms by a survey of in-house counsel around the world. Prior to assuming the Sonnenschein chairmanship, Portnoy was chair of the firm's Public Law & Policy Strategies Group, which he founded in 2002. This public policy practice has received national recognition by ''Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business'' as one of the nation's leading government relations practices〔http://www.chambersandpartners.com/USA/Editorial/33000#per_276389 Chambers and Partners〕 and ''The National Law Journal'' magazine ranked the group No. 8 on its annual “Influence 50” list of the nation’s highest-grossing lobbying practices for 2009.〔http://pdfserver.amlaw.com/nlj/INF50%20Lobbying%20Chart%202009.pdf〕 ==Education== Harvard Law School, J.D., ''cum laude'', 1992 Oxford University, Rhodes Scholar, Ph.D., 1986-1989 Syracuse University, B.A., ''summa cum laude'', 1986 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elliott Portnoy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
