I was attracted by the international reach of DLA Piper and the opportunity to work cross-border in close cooperation with colleagues in other parts of the world.

I like the possibility of working cross-jurisdictionally and managing my own matters and clients. In essence, I'm free to manage my own time and work, which is essential for me to obtain a good work-life balance.

People need to be open-minded and ready to take responsibility for their own work from an early stage. This may appear to be terrifying, but it creates an exciting work environment.
