College of Law praised by DLA Piper
- 20th October 2009
The College of Law has received a “ringing endorsement” of its training of aspiring solicitors by a top City law firm. Sir Nigel Knowles, joint CEO of DLA Piper since 1996, was speaking in a podcast recorded as part of the College’s Inside Track – a series of podcasts with leading members of the legal profession.
He praised the quality of training and said the firm is always “very impressed” with the quality of College of Law graduates who join as trainees.
He said: “They have a real appreciation of how to deliver commercially focused advice to clients and how to apply the law in a business context. The geographical spread of the College offers many of those we recruit the opportunity to study in the location where they have chosen to practise.”
DLA Piper is the world's largest international legal practice, with a global turnover in excess of £1bn.
