Overview
Week 1 involved presentations from key speakers at the firm. For example introductions to DLA Piper generally as well as insights into the pro bono, ESG and D&I initiatives. During Week 2 I sat in the Corporate team. I attended in-person client meetings, amended an SPA, drafted emails for clients and drafted a client file note. During Week 3 I sat in the Financial Regulatory team. I attended client meetings and drafted memos.
Skills
I have developed my drafting and presentation skills. New skills I have learnt include drafting client memos and file notes.
Business Insight
The role of a trainee solicitor was clearly explained. I also learnt about progression within the firm and secondment opportunities.
Culture
DLA Piper is definitely a place of lovely, approachable, warm people. Focus was placed on ensuring everyone felt equal and worthy of being there. This is representative of the firm culture.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed the programme tremendously.

Be yourself and work on your sector interests so you can enter conversations confidently.
