Overview
The internship at DLA Piper was incredible. We got an opportunity to network with the cohort in all offices and we have received constant support from Early Careers and our line managers in our respective seats. I have undertook litigation and corporate as my mini seats. We were given clear objectives for each week and our supervisors made sure that our tasks were tailored in a way that allows us to learn and give us a realistic insight in each department.
Skills
Due to having 5 objectives per seat I was given an opportunity to develop many skills which includes drafting documents, drafting meeting minutes, attending court including summarising a live hearing and understanding how certain law affects clients in a business setting. I further developed my networking skills and have gained an insight on how International firms operate on a day to day basis.
Business Insight
It was a very positive experience seeing that DLA Piper as a business use their training on a day to day basis. The company's values are taken very seriously and are practiced by everyone in the firm regardless of the position held.
Culture
The company is based on team work, inclusivity and support therefore, I always felt very comfortable with the tasks given to me. I was provided with a large support network and could rely on my supervisors and colleagues if anything was needed. The firm also made sure that Interns were included in all networking and social events.
Your Impressions
I have tremendously enjoyed my internship with the firm and would recommend applying and participating in the programme.
Yes
It is very important to know what differentiates DLA Piper to other firms and to understand the values of the firm.
