Please refrain from contacting Dentons lawyers directly regarding any candidate submissions. 

Lateral Partner and Counsel Submissions

In order to submit a partner or counsel candidate for consideration, you may contact a member of our Legal Recruitment team, listed below. If you submit your candidate in any other manner, we will not recognize the candidate as having been introduced to us by you. 

Lateral Associate and Professional Submissions

We only accept search firm submissions for posted associate searches that are specifically open to search firms. Unsolicited associate submissions are not considered valid.

Search firms should review each posted associate position for any search firm-specific restrictions. If a posted position is open to search firms, applications must be submitted using our online application. If you wish to submit your candidate for more than one open search, you must submit the candidate separately for each search, using that job’s unique application link. If you previously sent an unsolicited submission and wish to submit that candidate for a newly opened search, you must submit that candidate using the appropriate application link (the unsolicited submission is not considered valid). If you submit an associate or professional candidate in any other manner, we will not recognize the candidate as having been introduced to us by you.

Search Firm Agreements

If we are interested in pursuing your candidate, our Legal Recruitment team will ensure that a signed agreement is in place. Please note that our agreement automatically terminates two (2) years after the date the agreement is executed. Search firms are required to sign a Dentons agreement; Dentons does not sign agreements sent by individual search firms.

Legal Recruitment Contacts 

Candidate submissions must be submitted according to the above guidelines. Questions regarding search firm fee agreements or problems submitting a candidate online may be directed to Takara Hicks. All other inquiries can be directed to the appropriate legal recruitment contact. Please note that at Dentons US, the recruitment team is aligned by practice group.
