<p class="is-style-lead">Terra co-founder Do Kwon enlisted the services of global law firm Dentons following a passport forgery case, and extradition requests in Montenegro. </p>



<p>Denton has been a highly <a href="https://www.dentons.com/en/about-dentons/news-events-and-awards/recognition/recognitions/2021/november/dentons-honored-among-best-law-firms-by-us-news--best-lawyers-in-2022-rankings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ranked</a> global law firm, and will help Do Kwon in his legal struggles. </p>

<p>Terra co-founder <a href="https://twitter.com/CryptosHeadline/status/1663144172436725762" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Do Kwon</a>, who is embroiled in a passport forgery case in Montenegro, faced a setback as the court revoked his bail. Prosecutors successfully argued that Do Kwon posed a flight risk, deeming the initial bail amount insufficient for house arrest.&nbsp;</p>



<p>As discussions surrounding his potential extradition intensify, Do Kwon has sought the legal expertise of Dentons, a prominent and widely recognized law firm, to navigate the charges he faces in the United States.</p>



<p>Known for its legal talent, Dentons claims to be the largest law firm worldwide, thanks to the sheer number of legal professionals employed under its banner. </p>



<p>These claims appear to be backed by the <a href="https://www.dentons.com/en/about-dentons/news-events-and-awards/news/2022/december/dentons-ranked-in-gcr-global-elites-top-20-firms" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">GCR 100</a>, a renowned publication by Global Competition Review, which provides an extensive listing of the world&#8217;s leading law firms. </p>

<p>This is not the first time advice has been sought out from Dentons. In 2021, the firm successfully took on the challenge of challenging a subpoena issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as part of its investigation into Mirror Protocol. </p>



<p>Later, Dentons continued its legal representation in 2022 by representing Do Kwon in a class action lawsuit that unfolded in the Singapore High Court.</p>

<p>With Dentons&#8217; formidable legal representation, Do Kwon is now positioned to confront the legal charges before him, with the next trial date being set for June 16.</p>

<p>The involvement of Dentons, renowned for its expertise and abundant resources, is likely to bolster Do Kwon&#8217;s defense strategy. That being said, the outcome of the case is still largely unknown.</p>



<p>At the same time, <a href="https://forkast.news/headlines/korea-trial-terraform-labs-daniel-shin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Terra co-founder Daniel Shin</a> is gearing up to face his first trial at the Seoul Southern District Court. Displaying a staunch commitment to his innocence, Shin has assembled a team of 30 lawyers, which includes a former-prosecutor with experience in investigating the Terra-LUNA collapse.</p>
