Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
There was an induction in London for the first four days which was good. This was mostly hearing from speakers and a few interactive sessions.
In Dublin there were two 1 week long placements in different practice areas. You're given weekly objectives for what to complete at the start of each week.

Yes
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to DLA Piper
In the assessment centre having a business focus when linking everything together seemed to work for me.
Being friendly is important because they want people who will fit in. Also just having a good attitude and wanting to volunteer or put yourself forward for things.
