Overview
Across the three days, the firm provided talks, interactive workshops and Q&A panels to give students an insight into life working in law and at DLA Piper. Talks were by different speakers each time across a range of offices from around the world.
Skills
The programme has increased my commercial awareness dramatically and provided me with the tools to further build on this beyond the programme. Hearing first hand from the lawyers on their experiences allowed for a greater understanding of the skills required within a firm of this stature.
Business Insight
The firm provided an overview of some roles available. Being such a large firm, it would be impossible to provide a complete overview but the information provided was as comprehensive as possible within a three day scheme.
Culture
The general atmosphere at the firm was very upbeat. It was fantastic to meet likeminded students with similar ambitions and as we got to know each other more, the atmosphere only improved. The culture was incredibly supportive and the Early Careers team were always available to provide assistance if required.
Your Impressions
I thoroughly enjoyed the insight and would urge anyone considering applying to the insight programme in the future to do so. It was an extraordinary three days and one which will assist me massively as I progress my legal career.
Yes
Research the firm and keep up to date on current affairs. If you have a sector of interest, try to follow a developing news story or research further into this area. They will want to know that you have an interest and understanding in the firm!
