Dentons’ Europe Partners have elected Amsterdam-based Partner Wendela Raas as the firm’s Europe CEO succeeding Tomasz Dabrowski. Raas will start her term on November 1, 2024.
According to Dentons Raas will be “responsible for the leadership and strategy of the Europe Region which includes 23 offices in 18 countries in Europe and Central Asia.”
“In my short time with Dentons, I have seen Wendela demonstrate true leadership capability and a collaborative spirit,” Dentons Global CEO-elect Kate Barton commented. “I congratulate her on her election as Europe Region CEO and I look forward to partnering with her as she focuses on elevating our brand and client service across our Europe Region – one of the Firm’s crown jewels”.
“I am thrilled and grateful to have been entrusted by my fellow Partners to lead our firm across Europe and Central Asia,” Raas added. “I thank Tomasz Dabrowski for his immense contribution to our firm over the last 11 years and I look forward to continuing to enhance and differentiate our brand and being the go-to firm for our clients’ evolving needs within Europe and Central Asia and across the more than 80 countries globally where Dentons has a presence.”
“It has truly been an honor to serve as Europe CEO for more than a decade,” Dabrowski said. “I am very pleased to be handing over the reins to Wendela as my successor. She is a consummate professional, a highly regarded lawyer, and an experienced leader and I believe she is the right person to lead our teams across Europe into the future.”
Dabrowski has served as Europe Region CEO since 2014. According to the firm, under his leadership, “Dentons has experienced exceptional growth across Europe and Central Asia, more than doubling revenue and partner count. During his tenure, Dentons expanded its footprint in the region, adding offices in Amsterdam, Dusseldorf, Luxembourg, Milan, Munich, Rome and Tbilisi, and strengthened capabilities across the region, particularly in key Western European markets.”
Raas was the Managing Partner of Amsterdam-based Boekel De Neree which combined with Dentons in 2017. She is a member of Dentons’ Europe Region Board and Global Board and serves as Global Vice Chair. She also serves as the Global Leader of the Consumer Products and Services sector group.
