DLA Piper

Okay, I need to rewrite this job post for DLA Piper’s candidate attorney position for 2027. Let me first read through the original to understand the key points.

The job is for a candidate attorney, requiring an LLB from a South African institution, SA citizenship or permanent residency, excellent academics, and communication skills. Applications need a full academic record, matric certificate, CV, ID copy, and close by June 30, 2025. The firm emphasizes diversity and inclusion.

Now, I should make it more professional and natural. The user wants simple English and a clean format. I’ll start with a strong header, then sections like “About Us”, “Position Overview”, “Requirements”, “How to Apply”, and “Additional Information”.

I’ll avoid any unnecessary tags, just plain text within a span. Need to ensure clarity and flow, making each section concise. Also, highlight the global presence of DLA Piper and their commitment to diversity.

Let me check for any redundant information and streamline the application instructions. Make sure dates and requirements are clear. Finally, end with contact details and website.

Wait, should I keep the “+27 11 302 0800” as is or format it differently? Probably best to leave it standard. Also, ensure the links are correctly written.

Double-checking for simplicity and professionalism. No markdown, just clean HTML text within the span. Okay, I think that covers it. Let me put it all together now.
