Our Solicitor Apprenticeship Programme has cohorts across our London and Milton Keynes offices. Wherever you pick, you’ll be part of defining what the future of law will look like next.

London is our largest UK office, and is based in the heart of The City. Our market-leading teams advise the world’s leading international and domestic corporations, financial institutions, governments, public sector groups and NGOs.

We are also dedicated to our local communities in London, and frequently give back via our legal advice clinics, local homeless shelters and school initiatives.

Training in London

Solicitor Apprentices in London have the opportunity to complete seats in all our key UK practice areas, alongside client and international secondments.

“I applied to the London office, as I wanted to be where I felt my role as an apprentice would be most dynamic. London is one of the most diverse cities globally. It is at the centre of commercial practice, societal change, and I think that reflects on a legal perspective too. I felt that especially in commercial law, the London office would allow me to experience the most dynamic, diverse and current legal work.” Leila Roche, Solicitor Apprentice, Year 2

“There are many exciting opportunities to involve yourself in meaningful work, where you feel you are having a big impact on the world. The breadth of legal activity within Dentons also means that those looking for something more niche can also find enjoyable work. I have spent time in a number of departments covering a huge swathe of commercial law. I have worked, just for a taste, on large government contracts, multi-billion-pound banking facilities and collective proceeding litigations.” Jacob Reilly, Associate (former Dentons Solicitor Apprentice – cohort of 2017, qualified 2023).  

We are proud to be part of the business community in Milton Keynes. For more than 25 years, the firm has been committed to Milton Keynes, recently rated the best place to do business in the UK by the Business Location Index.

“I chose the Milton Keynes office because I wanted to see how a global law firm leverages its specialty to help regional businesses grow. It also helps that the Milton Keynes office is close to where I live.” Allan Ndungu, Solicitor Apprentice, Year 2.

 

“Dentons is the world’s largest law firm, and with that comes endless opportunities for me to grow and learn as a young professional. As a forward thinking firm, committing itself to creating a culture of positivity, diversity and inclusion, I knew it would be the right environment for me to continue to promote my core values. Upon hearing reviews from other apprentices, it was clear the programme was a success and would allow me to build the career that I had always wanted.” Leah Clifton, Solicitor Apprentice, Year 4.
