Training and development
Giving back
When you join DLA Piper you will have the opportunity to give back. This may include taking part in one of the clinical offerings centered around immigration, or preparing restraining orders for victims of domestic violence. You may join colleagues as you volunteer preparing food for families or sorting donations at a food bank. You can make an impact.
Krantz Fellowship
Through the Krantz Fellowship, we annually select two new associates to spend their first year at the firm working exclusively on pro bono matters. We created the fellowship in honor of Sheldon Krantz, a former partner and founding director of New Perimeter.
