“I wanted to work in a bigger team, on an international scale. Joining DLA Piper was the best decision of my life. Now I’m in a big team of 15 and we work closely with other teams both nationally and internationally.

I love that you’re allowed to work independently here, so it’s not always the partner or the counsel in direct contact with clients. Sometimes you’re even given the chance to work directly with the clients yourself. But no matter what, you’re always part of the team – and you know it’s okay to ask questions or feel uncertain.”

“There were three key things that attracted me to DLA Piper: the people, our commitment to being a full-service firm, and the strength and connectedness of our international platform. And it’s also these things that make me stay, together with the great work that we do as a team.

There are lots of things I like about my role. I enjoy leading and supporting the team, and also working with my colleagues from other offices around the globe. The opportunities to both learn from colleagues and impart my own knowledge and experience, and see others succeed, are really rewarding and make those successes all the more enjoyable.”

“The ability to work in a global firm and the opportunity to travel and work in different jurisdictions was something that attracted me. I joined DLA Piper as a trainee solicitor in the Liverpool office before moving to the UAE on qualification.

Having recently been promoted to partner, I’m enjoying the added responsibility my role brings. But the main thing I enjoy about my role is being part of a high-performing team, surrounded by colleagues and peers, all striving to achieve the same goal.”
