About us

We combine the global with the local as a polycentric law firm with no global headquarters and 4 offices in the UK: Milton Keynes, London, and the Central Belt (Edinburgh & Glasgow)

We welcome Diversity & Inclusion Enthusiasts and have 6 diversity networks sponsored by our CEO, Paul Jarvis, and shaped by our people: Inspire, Glow, Black Professional Network, Fusion, Parents and Carers Network, My Healthy Balance

Last year, 10,540 volunteering hours were invested by partners and legal staff, representing a saving of £2.9m to our local communities across legal and non-legal CSR and Pro Bono activities

Dentons is designed to be different. The landscape we work in is changing at an accelerating pace. We embrace this change, and are looking for trainees and apprentices to join us in redefining what is possible and in shaping the future of law.

Your career at Dentons can shape up to be something extraordinary. It’s a place for those who are driven to challenge. To question. To break tradition. To put your career firmly into fast-forward. This could be the start of something big.

Main areas of work

Trainees and apprentices are able to choose from a wealth of seats to work with experts across our practice areas:

  • banking and finance
  • competition
  • corporate
  • dispute resolution
  • ETI (energy, transport and infrastructure)
  • PRM (people, reward and mobility)
  • real estate
  • tax

Work is also about more than just work here. It's about the environment too, and the feeling you get from your team, office and beyond.

Apprenticeships 2023

University isn’t for everyone. If you want to train to become a solicitor, you just need a spot on the Dentons' apprenticeship scheme.

You’ll start working towards your LLB university degree alongside your day job. No student debt. No eye-watering loans. Just an opportunity to learn and build your career.

The six-year programme aimed at school leavers combines eight seats of work-based learning and part-time study with BPP University.

Locations: London and Milton Keynes

Who Should Apply?

There is no such thing as a ‘typical’ trainee or apprentice at Dentons and that’s the way we like it. Our expertise within the Firm are as diverse as the needs of our global clients.

We generally look for a strong performance at A-Level (ABB), but consider every application we receive in context and holistically. If you feel you can submit a strong application even if you do not meet these grades we encourage you to apply.

We also encourage you to include mitigating circumstances if relevant. We implemented the Rare Recruitment Contextual Recruitment System, to give us additional context to every candidate’s application.
