"Everything Matters" is not just about how we refer to our interactions and service to clients. It also describes our commitment to giving back to our local and global communities.
In each of our offices around the world, we make a serious commitment to public service by dedicating our time and legal services to projects related to education, healthcare, housing, hunger, economic development and law reform.
Another key element in our commitment to the clients and communities we serve is diversity.
Around the world at DLA Piper, our people reflect the diversity of our communities and our global marketplace. We believe that our efforts to understand, value and incorporate the differences that our people bring to the business enable us to acquire the best talent, create effective teams and establish a culture that is inclusive and sensitive to the needs of all.
DLA Piper recognises that it is a full service commercial firm providing strategic and innovative legal solutions to a broad cross-section of clients and industries, including local, national and international companies and all levels of government. Where relevant, the legal advice that we provide to clients will include an assessment of the possible positive or negative impact that our legal advice may have on the rights and interests of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This commitment is in line with the firm's belief that we have a responsibility to make the communities in which we operate a better place.
