Experience Dentons

Make your first step matter. Experience Dentons is our innovative virtual work experience programme, designed to give you a first-hand insight into life as a commercial solicitor at the world's largest global law firm. You'll explore commercial law, develop practical skills and discover how our lawyers help clients navigate complex challenges.

You'll start with an introduction to law, the commercial world and Dentons, before working through a series of interactive tasks based on our key practice areas. Along the way, you'll develop your technical knowledge and commercial awareness, build your confidence and get a better understanding of where a career in commercial law could take you.

By the end of the programme, you'll have completed a range of practical activities, developed your understanding of commercial law and earned a certificate to add to your LinkedIn profile and future applications.

And because we believe everyone should have the opportunity to explore whether a career in law is right for them, Experience Dentons is open to everyone aged 16 and over. There's no application process, no deadline and no previous legal experience required.

The programme contains five days' worth of tasks that you can complete at your own pace.
