London—Dentons has won Best Law Firm for Paralegal Development at the National Paralegal Awards 2020.

Hosted by the Professional Paralegal Register, the annual National Paralegal Awards were held virtually on 18 September 2020. The awards celebrate the outstanding achievements of both paralegals and firms that support the sector. The judges said Dentons stood out for its outstanding and innovative work, for taking clear action to support paralegal professional development and for being a leader in the legal landscape.

Jackie Hanlon, sponsor of the paralegal development programme and partner at Dentons, said, "We are delighted to be recognised for our paralegal  development programmes for the second year in a row. Our paralegals are an important part of our Firm, and we continue to strive to provide best in-class development programmes for them."

Rita Leat, Managing Director of the PPR, commented, “We are hugely humbled by the talent shown by our finalists and winners as the paralegal profession in the UK is one to be very proud of. We are delighted with the support we received with over 500 people tuning in to watch the event.“

Last year, Dentons won in the same category, Best Law Firm for Paralegal Development, at the National Paralegal Awards 2019.
