Working at DLA Piper: Equality and Diversity

We are committed to equality and diversity and have developed a strategy which underpins our values of respect for the individual, responsibility and teamwork. Equality and diversity are key to our global identity and an integral part of our aim to continue being an 'Employer of Choice'.

Our vision in terms of equality and diversity is not only to comply with legislation but to take a progressive approach, to create a mix of talent that makes us ever more successful as a business. Managing equality and diversity means valuing and utilising the differences our people bring to the business regardless of sex, marital status, sexual orientation, disability, race, religion, colour, nationality, ethnic origin, age or gender reassignment, so ensuring that no one is disadvantaged.

We recognise that a willing and committed workforce, where there is equality for all, where difference is visibly welcomed and people are actively included, is a key ingredient in our success - working in partnership with a diverse client base in a diverse number of locations, and delivering a diverse range of top quality legal solutions.

"We are defined by our people. They are our global identity as an organisation. Our brand is based on relationships and our people define our relationships.  Diversity at DLA Piper goes to the heart of our values".
