DLA Piper launches graduate jobs microsite

DLA Piper has set up a new website to provide information about its graduate job offerings.

The legal company has included information such as photographs, profiles of fee-earners and interesting facts about each of its UK offices on the portal.

A link to the firm's Facebook page - which features discussion boards, an events section and quizzes - is also present and DLA Piper has claimed that the new site will help to give potential employees a "good insight into the firm".

"The online products that we have introduced will enable us to engage with prospective applicants," commented head of graduate recruitment at DLA Piper Sally Carthy.

It has also launched another new service - Apply4Law - which gives those seeking graduate jobs the chance to apply for a summer scheme place at the law firm.

DLA Piper currently employs around 3,500 lawyers in over 65 offices around the world, serving clients ranging from multinational firms to emerging enterprises.
