Job description

Two weeks. Real experience. The chance to make your next step matter.

Our Vacation Scheme is more than a chance to see what life at Dentons is like. It's an opportunity to get involved, make a genuine contribution and discover what matters to you as you take your next step towards a career in commercial law.

From the start you'll become part of one of our practice areas, working alongside your supervisor and team on real client work and challenging tasks. You'll build your commercial awareness and legal knowledge through interactive training sessions and Lunch & Learns with teams including Responsible Business, Talent Development and Pro Bono. And through firm-wide networking and social events, you'll meet the people who make Dentons what it is.

By the end of the scheme, you'll have built valuable relationships, developed your skills and confidence and gained a real understanding of what a career with us could look like. We'll also be assessing you for our Trainee Solicitor Programme throughout, with your performance over the two weeks and a final reflective interview forming part of the assessment process.

Make your experience matter.

Completing a Vacation Scheme with us is the only way to be considered for a 2029 Training Contract in our Milton Keynes office.

What we are looking for

If you're an aspiring commercial lawyer looking to make an impact in a global law firm from day one, we can offer you the chance to learn from exceptional people, contribute to work that shapes industries and build a career with real purpose. This is a place where your ambition is supported, your potential is nurtured and what you bring has the opportunity to matter.

We generally look for a strong academic performance but consider every application we receive in context and holistically. We also encourage you to include mitigating circumstances if relevant.

Penultimate year law students, all final year students and graduates
