Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Fantastic induction week with the interns from all other offices.
During the other two weeks, sat with two different groups and given a mixture of live/'real' tasks and non-live tasks. All work was typical trainee tasks and the teams were very inclusive and welcoming. Nothing too technical or strenuous and lots of support given.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
One of the nicest environments I have ever worked in. Every single person I spoke to was welcoming, kind, friendly and always always made the time for you - even as an intern. Being in the office felt natural and there was never any feeling of not belonging. DLA very actively cultivates a friendly culture.

Be yourself! The firm genuinely values diversity. It is also more important that DLA is a good fit for you rather than the reverse, so be yourself and have fun with it.
