Why did you choose to work at DLA Piper?

I chose DLA Piper because it is a well‑established international law firm that offers both excellent learning resources and strong exposure to high‑quality work. The firm’s complementary practice areas allow me to develop deeper expertise while also expanding my knowledge through cross‑practice collaboration. I am particularly impressed by the talented team and the opportunity to learn from experienced lawyers. In addition, DLA Piper’s friendly and supportive culture makes it an environment where I can grow professionally and contribute effectively.

Is there anything you would like to highlight about your experiences at DLA Piper?

At DLA Piper, I learned how to step up and develop professionally while still being supported by the team. I was exposed to a variety of work across different practice areas, which helped broaden my knowledge and experience. Working alongside talented lawyers and partners has been a valuable learning opportunity, and the supportive and open‑minded team culture has greatly contributed to my growth. 

Do you have any advice for students aspiring to pursue a career in law?

I would encourage students to make the most of their internship opportunities by being proactive and open to learning. At the same time, it is important to reflect on whether you enjoy the substance of each practice area, as this will help shape your career decisions. Even if you are assigned to one practice, speaking with lawyers from other practices can provide valuable insight and broader perspective.
