Creating positive social impact

Hero

Our Inclusion pillars

At DLA Piper we value different perspectives. We believe in the power of inclusion and positive social impact and the influence it has on our people, our clients and the communities where we work. We are dedicated to creating an environment where everyone feels they belong and can thrive.

Our Inclusion pillars

Commit

We are committed to creating a firmwide, inclusive culture where our people thrive.

Empower

An inclusive culture requires inclusive behaviour. This means supporting our people to grow and realise their own potential. 

Celebrate

At DLA Piper we empower ourselves and celebrate each other with knowledge and empathy.

Committing to impact

We embrace and celebrate the range of perspectives, backgrounds and experiences that each individual brings to our firm. In doing so, we can attract the best talent, build the most effective teams, and deliver exceptional service to our clients. And most importantly, it means everyone is valued for who they are.

By fostering a culture that welcomes and appreciates all aspects of our individuality, we ensure that everyone has the opportunity to succeed.

We design our policies and processes to be inclusive in how we recruit, how we retain talent, and how we help our people progress their careers with us.

Our commitment to inclusion and positive social impact enables us to provide exceptional service to our clients and communities, while nurturing a unique and inclusive culture for all our people.

Celebrating our differences

One voice made of many

We understand that inclusion is not a one-size-fits-all concept.

We embrace and celebrate the range of perspectives, backgrounds and experiences that each individual brings to our firm. By fostering a culture that welcomes and appreciates all aspects of our individuality, we ensure that everyone has the opportunity to succeed.

We do this as individuals and as a community. Strong alone, stronger together. Because we’re one voice, made of many.
