Legal 500 Editorial commentary

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.'
