With locations across the UK, we’ve got an office in your reach (or that bit further afield). Wherever you pick, you’ll be part of defining what the future of law will look like next.

Our trainees in the UK can be based in Edinburgh, Glasgow, London or Milton Keynes. Read below for more details on each office, and the work our trainees can get involved in.

With a legacy in Scotland dating back to 1871, we are committed to the Scottish market and deeply rooted in the community. Both the Glasgow and Edinburgh offices are fast paced hubs, with clients instructing us on local, national and international work. Trainees undertaking our Scottish Trainee Solicitor Programme have the opportunity to complete seats in both offices, in all our key UK practice areas, alongside client and international secondments.

Our Edinburgh office is more than just a place to work, it’s a gateway to one of the most creative legal environments in the UK. Situated in a brand-new office in Haymarket, our Edinburgh location offers modern facilities and a collaborative environment that encourages innovation and excellence.

As a Challenger in our Edinburgh office, you’ll have the opportunity to work on high impact matters that influence the legal landscape not just in Scotland, but across the UK and beyond. The city’s reputation as a centre for finance, technology, and government means that you’ll be working with a diverse range of clients, providing you with the opportunity to build a well-rounded and impactful legal career.

“For me it was clear from when I applied to Dentons that Scotland wasn’t an afterthought, but a core part of the firm’s business. A lot of really exciting work happens up here and in my experience it’s been great to work on transactions that impact the place I grew up in so there is a tangible link to the work I’m doing. In terms of the Edinburgh office itself, I love that everyone is so welcoming. Everyone I’ve met, from trainee to partner, has made an effort to introduce themselves which is a lovely touch as a new trainee.” – Dentons Trainee

“Moving into a modern, fresher and greener office in the heart of Edinburgh is very much part of our vision for hybrid working and running our business. This is a cutting-edge development and we look forward to welcoming our clients and colleagues to this fantastic new space. ” – Claire Armstrong, Dentons Scotland Managing Partner

“The Haymarket building offered us exactly what we were looking for: office space that inspires collaboration and creativity, sustainable transport links to the rest of the city and Scotland; and being part of the thriving business community in this area.”

“We are a people-first, purpose-led organisation, and this state-of-the-art new office reflects our values perfectly. This 15-year lease marks the continuation of our commitment to the Scottish market, and will also be a great place to showcase the best of what Scotland has to offer to our global colleagues.”
