How can we help?

No. You can only apply to one location per year. If you submit applications to multiple positions, DLA Piper will only accept your first application, and your others will be withdrawn.

If you are unsuccessful, you may apply again in the next recruitment season. However, you cannot submit another application for the same year.

If you are unsure whether you meet the eligibility requirements for one of our programmes, please review the programme information available on our Programme Filter. 

Applications are reviewed individually and eligibility may depend on your qualification route and chosen office location.

If you have mitigating circumstances that you would like us to take into consideration, please include details in your application. If your circumstances change after submitting your application, or you feel additional context may be helpful, please contact the Early Careers team.

Yes. Candidates can apply for both programmes. In fact, Discovery Days are designed to help you learn more about DLA Piper before applying for a Summer Internship. Where possible, applications should be made to the same office location.

You may apply if you are:

No prior legal study or legal work experience is required.

Yes. We welcome applications from international candidates and value the diverse perspectives that people from different backgrounds bring to our firm. However, successful applicants will need to satisfy the relevant right-to-work and immigration requirements before joining the firm. Candidates who are on a visa must make this known on the application form.
