London—Dentons has won Top Employer in Law at the School Leaver Awards 2020 and been ranked in the top five in the Top 150 Employers for apprenticeships. Dentons won for its solicitor apprentice programme and was fifth in the Top 150 Employers ranking for its apprenticeship and school leaver opportunities.

Presented virtually on 3 September 2020 and hosted by the AllAboutGroup, the awards are judged on feedback from apprentices and school leavers working at the Firm. The awards also compile the Top 150 Employers for apprenticeships, the largest ranking of employers that offer apprenticeship and school leaver opportunities in the UK.

Launched in 2016, Dentons' solicitor apprenticeship programme in the UK is a six-year structured training programme combining work and study that will lead to direct qualification as a solicitor, as well as an LLB (Hons) Legal Practice degree awarded by BPP University Law School.

Nigel Webber, partner and a sponsor of the solicitor apprenticeship programme at Dentons, said, "We are incredibly proud to have won this award for our solicitor apprenticeship programme and to be ranked as a top employer for our apprenticeship and school leaver opportunities. Our solicitor apprentices are key members of our Firm, and we are delighted their feedback has led to this win. We remain deeply committed to developing programmes and initiatives to ensure we have a diverse and inclusive workplace and are honoured to be recognised for our efforts to help everyone, regardless of background, to succeed."
