Diversity and Inclusion

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 business support professionals 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.

Our LGBT+ network

Iris is DLA Piper's global resource group for its lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender employees and allies.

The group is open to everyone in the firm and its overall aim is to promote an inclusive work environment for all of our colleagues. In addition to providing welcoming support to its members, the group serves as a forum and advisory body on matters of concern to the firm's LGBT personnel and supports projects that promote justice for the greater LGBT community. Every office has an Iris representative, and we use internal communications platform open to everyone to promote equality, share inspiring stories and support each other.
