Dentons, Canada’s Global Law Firm, is pleased to once again be recognized among Canada's Top Family-Friendly Employers – an honour that underscores the Firm’s dedication to creating a supportive and inclusive workplace through exceptional family-friendly benefits, including our industry-leading enhanced parental leave policy.

“Our commitment to providing family-friendly benefits is a testament to our dedication to fostering a supportive and inclusive workplace,” said Tim Haney, CEO of Dentons Canada. “Being one of 20 organizations listed, and the only law firm, is a great acknowledgement of the Firm’s support of our people and their families.”

At Dentons, our leadership, Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility (IDEA) and Talent teams regularly review programs and initiatives through an inclusive lens to ensure our offerings continue to meet the needs of our people. Our family-friendly benefits include, among others:

• Enhanced parental leave policy which offers 26 weeks of parental leave benefits to all eligible employees, with equal top-ups, support for non-gestational caregivers (regardless of gender) and financial assistance for adoption;
• Introduction of gender affirmation benefits to support our transgender and non-binary colleagues. The benefits will help fill the gaps in coverage to better support our people from the transgender community, and further the understanding and acceptance of our people and their families;
• Hybrid and flexible work arrangements;
• Employee and Family Assistance Program; and 
• Free unlimited family access to Dialogue, a virtual healthcare program.

Kara Sutherland, Chief People Officer of Dentons Canada, expressed: “Implementing policies that truly make a difference is very important for us, and we achieve this objective by actively listening and engaging in open conversations with our people.”

Dentons is proud to be consistently recognized as an employer of choice in Canada, most recently earning a spot among Canada’s Top 100 Employers for the third year in a row.
