DLA Piper has offered me exceptional chances to thrive as a person and as a lawyer. The firm has given me the opportunity to showcase my skills and my personality and to develop my technical competence, and my skills in leadership and teamwork. 

I have faced many challenges and difficulties during my career journey, but I never felt anxious.

At DLA Piper, everyone listens attentively, and new ideas and perspectives are valued.

If I had to share some suggestions to anyone starting a career at DLA Piper they would be: be bold and collaborative, reach out to others to seek support and make the most of all the opportunities to become exceptional.
