Hi everyone!

I applied for DLA's Summer Internship a couple of weeks ago, but didn't receive a confirmation email (it didn't go to junk either).

When I log into DLA's application portal I can see that I've applied and there's a message that says:
'Thank you for your interest in DLA Piper. Please complete your assessments as soon as possible.'

However, I can't see anywhere to complete any assessment on the portal.

Has everyone else experienced the same?

This is not a common issue - it is very likely the result of a technical error. As such, I would advise you to reach out to the firm's graduate recruitment department to let them know about it as soon as possible.
