Overview
The week was predominantly made up of zoom presentations from people across the firm. From these session we were provided with insights into vary facets of DLA Piper including the matrix structure, it’s commitment to D&I and CSR as well as its coverage across the globe. Additionally, we also prepared a group presentation throughout the week and presented it on the final day.
Skills
The main thing I gained from this internship was a deeper knowledge of the firm, it’s structure and it’s culture. The group presentation was a good opportunity to consolidate this information as it involved pitching DLA Piper to a prospective client. Further, the group element allowed me to improve my teamwork skills as well as my public/zoom speaking skills.
Business Insight
It was very interesting. DLA Piper has impressive global coverage across a wide range of sectors and practice areas. The prospect of gaining insights into a variety of practice areas, as well as into different jurisdictions, is an exciting one.
Culture
It is hard to gauge from zoom but every person that addressed us seemed genuinely personable, passionate about their jobs and excited to welcome graduates to the firm.
Your Impressions
