JWS has a high partner to lawyer ratio, allowing me to learn and work with senior lawyers with great experience in their fields.

CU people take their work seriously, but not themselves. This creates an excellent learning environment and enables you to be yourself at work. 

The work I have been given so far has not been limited to tasks that my team knows I can complete, but rather tasks that consistently push me out of my comfort zone.

The law is alive in both your personal life and your professional life.

One of the best things about my job is knowing that you are helping clients achieve their goals, whether personal or business-related.

Everyone at DLA Piper has different backgrounds and this is something we celebrate. The diversity brings different perspectives and opinions to the team and helps to challenge your thinking and broaden your understanding of different ways of working.
