    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the virtual experience?
  • I really enjoyed my virtual vacation scheme with Dentons. Despite the fact that the scheme was done virtually, there was a great combination of interesting work, social events and presentations and talks from people at the firm. Although it would have been great to have experienced the firm in person, in particular to see how the office operated, the virtual experience still provided a great insight into the the work Dentons does, and its culture.

  • Dentons made me feel very valued during my virtual vacation scheme and the lead up to it. For example, graduate recruitment called me a number of times in the lead up to the scheme, and my supervisors during the scheme always had time for me.

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Although the length of the scheme was relatively short, the work I engaged in gave me a true insight into the type of work that a leading global law firm engages in, and the standard of work required. This will assist me greatly when carrying out that type of work in future.
