DLA Piper

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• 'DLA Piper is the complete package when it comes to acting for employers. What makes the firm unique is its particular strength in defending large group claims/class actions. It has been involved in several high-profile, cutting-edge group claims in recent years, including the Uber worker status litigation and the McDonald’s harassment litigation. Their work-rate is second to none, and they know the law back to front.’

• 'Anna-Louise Thomond is a standout practitioner and a partner in the making. She is leading on significant group claims already and shows experience and knowledge well beyond her years.'

• 'Jane Hannon is calm and collected under pressure, and can steer a client through the trickiest of waters.'

• ‘Lee Harding is a superbly talented lawyer - he thinks outside the box to a wonderful degree and pulls out workable solutions you never would have thought of. ’

• ‘DLA excels at international project work. The scope enables the process of working on international matters to run much more smoothly than it otherwise would. Whilst there are always challenges, DLA's network and the centralisation led by Jane Hannon's team help to maximise efficiency. They take time to know and understand our business, which helps to get more practical advice than we have seen elsewhere. They are also a very positive and collegiate team which projects well.’

• ‘Jane Hannon leads the team very effectively. She has been able to leverage DLA's scope to dial up and down the support we need seamlessly.'

• 'Anna-Louise Thomond is a very strong junior who is handling a wide portfolio of employment tribunal litigations, which also requires her to be plugged into the business. This is effective and she is a rising star.’
