Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sad_Old_Grad" data-source="post: 194067" data-attributes="member: 38040">I am currently in the process of applying for DLA Piper's Summer Internship programme (Sheffield office). One of the application questions is: 'At DLA Piper, we believe great business can make a better world. We believe in being collaborative, bold, exceptional, and supportive. We are keen to hear what inspired your application. Why are you interested in starting a legal career at DLA Piper? (Max 200 words/1,500 Characters)'I have written the following as a rough draft, but I'm not overly convinced by what I've written so far. It feels too generic. (?) I was also wondering whether applicants are expected to tailor their applications with the strengths of a specific office (i.e. Sheffield as opposed to London) in mind? Any feedback hugely appreciated!DLA Piper genuinely substantiates its claim as a "global firm" with a 16% international secondment rate for trainees and operations across numerous jurisdictions. As a modern languages graduate, I value the opportunity to work for a firm that offers true international experiences. I am eager to apply my multilingual abilities, cross-border intellectual property experience, and diverse cultural knowledge to my legal career.Since completing my undergraduate degree, I have earned a PGDL and worked in various roles, including management in hospitality, translation, and business intelligence research. This multi-disciplinary background aligns with DLA Piper's emphasis on individuality and diversity. My unique perspective allows me to approach problems differently from traditional law graduates, offering innovative, business strategy-oriented solutions that align with clients’ commercial goals.My academic and professional experiences have fostered a strong interest in intellectual property, M&A, and private equity. DLA Piper’s consistent ranking as number one by deal count for global M&A over the past 14 years and its recognition as a top firm for global private equity are remarkable. With such high volumes of work, DLA Piper is the ideal place to gain hands-on experience and learn from industry-leading experts.</blockquote>
