Overview
On the first day, we attended welcome sessions with the Dentons team, which was followed by a virtual social to help us get to know others on the vacation scheme. Throughout the scheme, I was placed in two different teams and was given really interesting tasks to complete throughout the day. There was regular coffees scheduled with my mentor and buddies to ensure I was getting on okay. We also had lunchtime webinars scheduled throughout.
Skills
Definitely - I developed my drafting skills in the various tasks I was assigned and improved my time management skills working to tight deadlines. The group exercise also helped me to to develop my team-working skills, especially in the current virtual environment.

Your Impressions
Overall, I had an excellent vacation scheme with Dentons – I feel that I learned a lot and got to get a real insight into life as a trainee at Dentons. I am really grateful for all of the opportunities I had during the scheme. I gained a lot of insight into the training contract from the TC webinar and learned so much about Dentons during the scheme.
Yes
I would definitely recommend everyone interested in working at an international commercial law firm to apply to Dentons. Do lots of research on the firm and attend all the insight days/webinars they host to get a feel if the firm is right for you. I felt really supported through the full application process so would recommend others to network and reach out to members of the Dentons team and ask lots of questions.
