I chose Dentons because their ambition matched mine. They have a real drive to be the biggest and the best, and that's what I want from my career.

Solicitor Apprenticeships with Dentons

University isn’t for everyone, and there isn't only one route to a career in law. Don’t let anyone tell you there 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 combines eight seats of work-based learning in our London office and part-time study with BPP University.

Not sure what you want to do yet? No problem! Apply for one of our insight events to hear more about a career in law, or sign up to our virtual program, Experience Dentons, to try it out for yourself.

Social Mobility Mentoring Program

We understand how difficult it can be to gain an insight into a career in commercial law, which is why we’ve created our new Social Mobility Mentoring program.

This program has been designed to provide an insight into commercial law, for students who might not have the access to do so independently. 

The program includes two main aspects:

  1. One-to-one mentoring: each mentee has a dedicated mentor from the firm, who they will meet with (virtually or in person) at least three times over the course of the program.
  2. Workshops: all mentees will be invited to exclusive workshops designed to prepare you for a career in law. These will include topics such as commercial awareness and personal branding.

We welcome people who are driven to challenge. We’ll be looking for collaboration, drive and problem-solving throughout the process. To be eligible you will need to:

  • Currently be a full-time undergraduate student;
  • Not hold a Training Contract or Graduate Scheme offer;
  • Have attended from aged 11, a state-funded non-fee paying school / college OR an independent / fee-paying school through a bursary scheme in the UK;
  • Be the first generation in your family to attend university.
