Dentons, Canada's Global Law Firm, is pleased to welcome Kamil Umar back to the Firm as a partner in the national Real Estate group. This addition reflects the Firm's continued investment in building a national real estate practice that anticipates the needs of clients across Canada as the sector evolves.

"The connections I maintained with Dentons colleagues over the years made the decision to return an easy one," said Kamil Umar. "The Firm's global reach, collaborative culture and depth across key sectors create a strong foundation for serving clients in Calgary, across Canada and the world. I'm looking forward to building on that momentum and contributing to what is already a strong and growing real estate practice."

He is exactly the kind of talent we seek as we continue strengthening our leading real estate group."
