At DLA Piper, diversity, inclusion and equality are a part of how we live our values. We are one of the world's largest law firms, with lawyers and staff in more than 40 countries throughout the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Our people reflect the diversity of our clients and the many communities and markets where we work.

With offices worldwide, our efforts to understand, value and incorporate differences are woven into our culture. We are on a journey and, like most law firms, we still have some distance to travel. But with strategic approaches within our geographic regions, we're making great progress. Visit our diversity and inclusion website to learn more:

In everything we do connected with our People, our Clients and our Communities, we live by these values:

	Be Supportive We treat everyone fairly and with respect and courtesy. We are inclusive, approachable and supportive of our clients and colleagues. We make a positive contribution to our local and global communities
	Be Collaborative We exhibit a global mind-set by celebrating our geographic diversity and working seamlessly across borders. We reach out to others, give help willingly and make ourselves available when needed. We listen attentively and value new ideas and perspectives.
	Be Bold We are strategic and future-orientated, always thinking and planning ahead. We challenge, and are open to being challenged. We are resilient, we adapt quickly. We guide and help others do the same.
	Be Exceptional We focus on delivering the highest standard of legal advice and service excellence. We get to the heart of issues and challenges and provide pragmatic, commercial solutions. We operate with transparency and work efficiently to deliver value.

DLA Piper is deeply committed to pro bono. Our pro bono efforts focus on three areas: the rights of children, access to justice and the rule of law, and assisting asylum seekers, refugees, and stateless people. Our work is both global and local. We provide direct service to individuals and organizations that could not otherwise afford counsel, while helping to build a pro bono culture in the legal profession around the world.
