    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the virtual experience?
  • The experience truly exceeded my expectations. Despite the virtual setting, I have never felt more connected to a firm as they truly ensured that we all felt connected as supported. The various webinars and tasks were incredibly interesting, along with the support from my buddies and supervisors who were able to provide me with some interesting insights into the work the firm does and their own personal experiences. I would recommend this firm to any of my friends!

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the virtual experience?
  • Incredibly well structured, the only thing I would say as it was only 4 days and it felt slightly tight for time and rushed at certain times.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your virtual experience?
  • Everyone was so lovely and approachable, and really made me feel welcome at all times. The atmosphere I would say was perfect and made me want to stay on at the firm. The socials definitely helped me get to know the employees and fellow interns a bit better!

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • They invested a huge amount in me, and made sure I was always busy with a variety of tasks. They also included webinars and Q&A's with various people from the firm.

    5/5

  • 8. To what extent did the virtual experience help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?
  • It gave me a massive indication as to what working at Dentons would be like - the structures of the day made me feel I was actually in the office, despite being at home!

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the virtual experience help you in understanding the company culture?
  • It made me understand the company's culture immensely - through a webinar on inclusion and diversity and just from speaking to trainees and associates about their experiences with the firm!

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • It fuelled my motivation for wanting to be a commercial solicitor, especially at Dentons as it seems like a fantastic place to work where you are made to feel valued, all while learning from the best.

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • Despite conducting the placement from home, I was still paid which I was extremely grateful for.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Every day I was able to speak to a variety of people from the firm - I actually thought it was impressive how many people I was introduced to (or that I had reached out to myself) in the space of 4 days!

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • There was a social at the beginning of the week which was incredibly fun! I also asked a few interns before the scheme if they were interested in a mini-social, to which they were all happy to do!

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Yes, the list was never ending - the amount that a solicitor at Dentons can do outside of work is impressive and incredible. From CSR activities to social events, it seems like you can never struggle to find things to get involved in.

    5/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this virtual experience to a friend?
  • 100% - this is a firm that genuinely cares about its interns and employees, and will make sure you make the most out of the experience!
