How would you describe the culture at DLA Piper?

The culture at DLA Piper strikes a fine balance between a no-nonsense work ethic, and friendly, close-knit teamwork. Hard work is always paired with a focus on collaboration and everyone's development. Colleagues support each other both professionally and socially, and successes are shared.

What do you think makes DLA Piper different from other law firms?

During my first months at DLA Piper, I noticed how active the communication with colleagues from other countries is. It is not uncommon to share an office with a colleague from abroad visiting the Amsterdam office. At DLA Piper, you immediately step into a well-established international network and can directly benefit from both Dutch and international experiences.
