What tips or advice would you give to others applying to DLA Piper
For the insight programme there was no interview or assessment process. I would recommend putting effort into the application process and CV.
In terms of my inspiration to apply, I am interested in my current course (LLB) and I thought that this was an opportunity that I could not miss. The programme allowed for me to obtain a solid understanding of the functioning of a corporate firm and importantly it was a fantastic networking opportunity.
