At Dentons, we believe that inclusion, diversity, and equity are essential to the success and strength of our people, our firm, our clients and the delivery of justice in our communities. Ensuring that everyone feels valued and supported for who they are at work is a business imperative and a top firmwide priority.

Gender equality: The advancement of more women into partnership and leadership roles is our priority and a comprehensive plan for achieving it is set out in our Europe Women’s Professional Advancement Strategy.

• Our award-winning Europe Women’s Advancement Program provides mentoring and guidance to high-performing women lawyers and business services professionals at a critical juncture in their career. Almost 150 women graduated from the first three editions of the program.
• We ensure 50-50 equal participation of men and women on our key talent programs.
• We have launched an anti-discrimination and harassment e-learning for all people in Dentons Europe
• We have implemented policies to ensure diverse representation in our marketing initiatives

LGBT+: GLOW Europe is Dentons’ LGBT+ affinity group (members of the LGBT+ community and allies) which raises awareness on the issues that the LGBT+ community is facing, provides pro bono support to NGOs, and supports a culture of inclusion, collaboration and understanding. In 2024, GLOW organized Pride and Inclusion Months in various European offices.

Race and Ethnicity: We have partnered with the European Network Against Racism (ENAR) to improve our recruitment process and Employee Value Proposition to attract diverse talent. As part of our cooperation, in January 2025 ENAR held the first workshop focusing on inclusive recruitment for ethnic and racial minorities.
