What does global mean at DLA Piper?

Alyson Eather, Partner, Co-Global Head of Projects and Head of Finance: I think at DLA Piper, we are truly an international, integrated firm. 

So even though we're a very large firm with thousands of people working for us around the world, we do have this culture of cultivating people's careers. 

Mihir Joshi, Associate, Investment Management and Funds: At DLA Piper, we are very international in our outlook and the work that we do. 

Every single day I come to work, there will be a global element to the transactions that I'm working on, and I think we work seamlessly across borders. 

Johannes Gouws, Country Managing Partner, South Africa: One of the great benefits of being an international firm is that we are able to support our clients in other jurisdictions. 

Our local clients often come to us with a request that they want to do transactions in jurisdictions where we might not even actually be involved as the South Africa office. But because we're there, because we have the connections, we can introduce them to the best people. 

Rashida Abdulai, Senior Associate, Litigation and Regulatory: I'm really excited about having the opportunity to do really complex, high-value disputes work internationally, working in collaboration with my colleagues across the globe, and doing it for some of the biggest clients in the world.
