Diversity, inclusion and wellbeing

At Dentons, inclusion  and diversity is not just a core value – it is an integral part of our  strategy. Building a more inclusive and diverse law firm is core to our  strategy because it leads to better business outcomes for our clients, our  communities and for Dentons.

We believe in creating an environment where everyone can  thrive. We work hard to nurture a sense of inclusion that is empowering to  the individual, to the teams and to the Firm.

Examples of our inclusion strategy include a focus on  allyship programmes, access initiatives, mentoring programmes, and a series  of events and conversation focussed on equity and inclusion.

Our Inclusion Networks also play a huge part in fostering  a sense of belonging and support for everyone at the firm. These groups  include GLOW (LGBTQ+), Fusion (Asian Professionals), BPN (Black  Professionals), Inspire (Gender Equality), Accessibility (Disability), and  our Parents and Carers network.
