London—Dentons' UK, Ireland and Middle East (UKIME) region has retained 78% of trainees and solicitor apprentices who applied for newly qualified roles in the UK in 2024.

Out of the 34 trainees and two apprentices who applied in the UK, 27 trainees and one apprentice have accepted newly qualified (NQ) roles commencing in the autumn. Of the 28 newly qualified lawyers from the UK cohort, 19 will be based in London, one in Milton Keynes, seven in Scotland, and one joins the Middle East.

Dentons Middle East has retained 100% (2 of 2) of the trainees who have trained as England & Wales solicitors in the Middle East. Dentons trainees in the Middle East looking to qualify under local laws will be confirmed in due course, according to regional qualification timelines.

UKIME CEO Paul Jarvis said, "I would like to congratulate this year's cohort of newly qualified solicitors who have shown themselves to be valuable members of the Dentons team, with great potential. I am so pleased that we have continued our high success rate for nurturing and developing homegrown talent across the UKIME region."
