Dentons has been recognized as one of Canada's Top Employer for Young People, reinforcing the valuable role young professionals play across the Firm. 

Canada's Top Employers for Young People recognizes employers that offer Canada's best workplaces and programs for young people just starting their careers. Employers are evaluated by the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers for their ability to attract and retain younger workers, including benefits, co-op and work-study programs, career management programs, engagement, demographic composition and profile of their workforce.

"Our law students and business graduates are fundamental to our forward-thinking culture," said Jillian Frank, Chief Talent Officer. "The many talents of young people foster creative thinking, and enable us to develop innovative client solutions, transform the way we do business, and help build the law firm of the future."

Young people are the future at Dentons. And building future leader pipelines and providing opportunities to explore potential careers in law and business is one way Dentons is putting young people front and centre. We are committed to engaging young people in a variety of ways including:

• Sponsoring and participating in student career fairs and conferences
• Collaborating with community organizations and bar associations to engage in conversations surrounding the recruitment and advancement of women and professionals from under-represented groups
• Collaborating with our clients to provide meaningful summer and articling positions to Indigenous students
• Empowering law students with a variety of skill-based law competitions to improve their legal research, analysis and advocacy skills

In addition, our Dentons Career Playbook is a framework that recognizes and supports all of our lawyers in developing their own unique path for career advancement within the Firm. Its purpose is to enable our lawyers to make deliberate, strategic choices about their careers and progress over time in a way that adapts to their individual goals, and participate in Dentons' many inclusion and diversity, philanthropic and pro bono initiatives throughout the year. Outside the Firm, students benefit from attending various programs designed to help them connect and network with senior leaders, lawyers and business professionals.
