Trainee Lawyer - Anonymous employee DLA Piper Employee Review

Thoughtful and understanding management. Good team atmosphere. Flexible work arrangement.

Clients can be demanding. Frequently working against tight deadlines.

- Excellent pay and benefits - Flexibility with the hybrid schedule (depending on your practice group) - Easy to build community with other assistants and paralegals

- Easy to fall into burnout due to understaffing in assistant/paralegal positions - Be prepared for an unexpectedly higher or lower workload at any point. - D.C. location is particularly strict about the hybrid expectations - A bit disorganized as a whole when it comes to onboarding and training for your particular practice group.
