Billing was a bit messy. We got charged twice for the same filing fee and it took two months to get the credit applied to our account. Their back-office stuff could use some of that 'legal tech' they talk about.

Their data privacy and cybersecurity team is top-notch. They helped us navigate the new 2026 regulations without losing our minds. Very practical, business-focused advice rather than just legal theory.

Great for mid-market deals. They have a massive platform but they still made us feel like a priority. Our partner was very hands-on and didn't just hand the work off to a first-year associate.

They are everywhere, which is great, but the quality varies a lot depending on which office you use.

DLA is everywhere. I love that I can find a local office with local expertise pretty much anywhere in the world. They aren't as 'elitist' as some of the other top firms, which makes them much easier to work with.
