Vision and culture

A law firm where everything matters

'Everything matters' is our commitment to understanding our clients' needs – business, managerial and personal – and meeting all of them. It’s about an all-round quality service that stretches from the first phone call to a completed project. Our practical, innovative solutions are combined with friendly and genuine relationships. Across our practices, around the world and in all legal issues, we want clients to feel that everything matters to DLA Piper.

What’s in our DNA?

You’ll find our culture unpretentious and entrepreneurial and our people focused on providing a great service. It’s also a very friendly environment. Everyone has bad days, but you’ll get a lot of support when you have yours. And everyone has Fridays - we reckon you’ll want to spend time after work with your colleagues.

A diverse environment

The best people come from a variety of backgrounds and what we’re really interested in is your mind. We see strength in diversity and have been recognised for our efforts in this area (we won the 'Diversity Recruitment Award 2008' at the Target National Graduate Recruitment Awards). What matters most is this: are you capable of becoming a great lawyer with the intelligence to understand your client and the empathy to deliver a great service?

Time well spent

You’ll be spending at least eight hours a day with people you’ll enjoy being with, who are as different as you are and who will inspire you to achieve more.

Corporate social responsibility

We are serious when it comes to acting responsibly. This includes managing our environmental impact, corporate governance, diversity, and how we respond to the needs of our local communities. We are keen to inspire our people, help them develop commercial and business skills, and do so while making a positive impact at a local level. Find out more by visiting our global CSR site.
