“I was looking for a workplace that could offer me a truly international experience. DLA Piper was the clear standout with the strength of its brand globally, and the instant recognition you get when mentioning the name anywhere in the world.
Walking into my first day, I was feeling intimidated by what may be in store. But my nerves were not justified. I love the magnetic energy of the people that work here, in both my local office and offices abroad.”

“I’ve been with the DLA Piper corporate team since 2005, and have worked in Russia and the UK. I joined DLA Piper because, at the time, it was one of the top firms in my city, and it seemed a natural choice. Since then DLA Piper has developed into a world-leading business law firm. I feel privileged to have been able to co-live this change.
We are now the firm that does work of immense complexity around the world, the firm that’s ambitious, innovative and constantly improving. But also the firm that values and respects its people, their lives and interests outside work, and the world around us in general.”
