Management at DLA Piper Australia

Yes, I am satisfied with my manager, the only hindrance is how busy they are themselves.

Each person and partner is different. Most are friendly, can be mentors and give good feedback.

Yes, they are very experienced, good communicators and very supportive. However, due to how busy the teams are it can be difficult to find time to get feedback.

The partners and senior lawyers at DLA Piper are approachable and open to helping their junior lawyers grow in their roles. Although many people are often busy and time poor, receiving feedback is a common part the review process. This makes it easier to see your work recognised and improve where improvement is needed.

So far, I have found my supervising partner and other senior members of the team to be very accessible and willing to teach and run through the context and background of matters I am working on. I have weekly meetings where we discuss priorities for the week and have a clear performance review program where we can seek feedback throughout our rotations.

Very satisfied with managers as they are approachable and experienced.

I am satisfied with my managers overall. They are relatively accessible if an issue needs to be addressed - I think you must always be cognisant of how busy your managers may be and expect a commensurate level of access/feedback.

They are quite accessible because of the open plan.
