You can apply to Dentons for a vacation scheme or training contract. If the firm is accepting applications for either of these opportunities, they will appear below. 

Training Contract

The business of law is changing, and Dentons wants you to be right there with it. To take the firm from largest to leading, they are looking for their trainees to think big and see the future of law in a new way.

Dentons two-year, four seat Training Contract is designed to equip you with the skills required to be the lawyer of the future.

On top of their award-winning trainee development programme, their training contract includes three additional modules: legal project management, innovation and resilience. 

Alongside seats in their practice groups, trainees have the opportunity to work in one of our global offices, or directly with one of their clients on a six-month secondment. 

The Firm's modernised training contract marks the first stage in your journey from lawyer to leader. The lawyers of the future start here.

Vacation Scheme

Deciding where to start your career is a big decision. Balance real work with training and networking on their schemes to see what your career at Dentons could look like. Dentons’ two week scheme will give you, and the firm, an insight into whether you’re a good match. 

In each week of the scheme you will experience a different practice area, working closely with a supervisor and buddy. 

By attending Dentons’ Vacation Scheme, you'll automatically be assessed for their Training Contract. This could be the start of something much bigger. 

Dentons’ schemes run in Spring (London only) and Summer (all UK offices). 

Solicitor Apprenticeship

University isn’t for everyone. Don’t let anyone tell you it is. 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
