DLA Piper is one of the world\'s largest law firms with nearly 8000 people in 64 offices and 25 countries across the world and global turnover exceeding £1 billion. Our vision is to be the leading global business law firm, a vision which is underpinned by a set of core values which invest in our people, our clients and our community. Our integrated network of offices throughout the UK offers clients pragmatic business driven advice in an environment where innovation, excellence and going that extra mile is the norm. Unsurprisingly, it is exactly those qualities which we seek in the people we recruit. We want individuals who are open, down-to-earth, pragmatic, friendly and responsive. In short we recruit team players who will contribute to the development of our firm. In return we offer a supportive and empowering environment, great training and development programmes where all of our people are given every opportunity to fulfil their full potential. We are proud to have been consistently voted one of the UK\'s and Europe\'s best places to work in surveys which benchmark us against all major employers and not just other law firms. Additional Information Our eight core practice Groups provide commercially driven advice to a range of prestige clients in both the private and public sector. With over 50 local authorities as clients, we now seek an additional experienced local government lawyer with at least four years\' relevant experience in local authority law and governance and in particular public finance & regulation and local government powers. Additional experience in local authority JVs and PFI/PPP projects would be useful but not essential. The successful recruit is likely to be working as a senior lawyer in the public sector (or for clients in the public sector) and seeking an alternative career direction in a firm committed to investing in the careers and development of its people.
