DLA Piper Careers & Interviews

DLA Piper is a colossal, global law firm with lawyers located in more than 40 countries throughout the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific. It is heavily recognized for its sprawling global reach and middle-market, cross-border M&A dominance, rather than purely focusing on the elite, highest-value 'Magic Circle' tier work in London. The culture is notoriously entrepreneurial, heavily metrics and billings-driven, and slightly less hierarchical than older, traditional firms. Interviewing at DLA Piper requires proving you are commercially agile, eager to build a book of business early, and capable of collaborating across a massive, decentralized global network.
