Your law career at Dentons can shape up to be something extraordinary. It’s a place for those who are driven to challenge. To question. To break tradition. To define what law will look like next. To put your career firmly into fast-forward.
At Dentons, innovation isn’t something that sits in isolation – we believe it comes from everywhere and from everyone, and it is critical to our position as the world’s largest law firm. We structure ourselves to identify and implement innovation across all areas of service delivery to our clients.
All of our lawyers are expected to spend time working and engaging with innovation. We have innovation gatekeepers and a dedicated charge code, which lawyers can allocate up to 50 hours per year to innovation projects. Each department is allocated a budget specifically dedicated to implementing legal innovation, and the innovation department is responsible for helping to source new solutions and to educate teams on existing legal technology within the firm.
We have also created a highly bespoke programme for our trainees, to enhance their knowledge around legal innovation and digital transformation. At every seat rotation, each trainee will undertake a new innovation project, and with the help of their designated Innovation Training Scheme supervisor, and Innovation team, will create a project based on one of the following categories: AI (Machine Learning), Document Automation, Design Thinking, RPA (Robotic Process Automation), Data Visualization or a Business Case. These projects, not only help to broaden trainees’ understanding of legal innovation but also help us to identify and address innovation gaps within the firm.
