THE WORK
As an Apprentice at Dentons, you’ll dive headfirst into the world of law. Four days a week, you’ll be in the office, where your journey will span six exciting years. During this time, you’ll explore eight different practice areas or departments. This allows you to hone a wide range of skills and discover your passion within the legal field.

- You’ll spend six months to a year in each practice area, gaining invaluable insights and experience. In each department, you’ll have a dedicated supervisor to guide and mentor you
- From day one, you won’t be a passive observer. You’ll be a key member of your team, contributing to real projects and making an impact. As the years pass, you’ll undertake increasing responsibilities
