We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes a summary paragraph after "Summary". Use for section headings. We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- Summary (intro paragraph)
- Location (list of offices, hybrid schedule)
- Responsibilities (multiple bullet points)
- Desired Skills (list of bullet points)
- Minimum Education
- Preferred Education
- Minimum Years Of Experience
- Essential Job Expectations (list)
- Physical Demands (maybe not needed? It's a description but could be considered part of responsibilities? It's not a typical heading; but we can include if we think it's substantive. However guidelines: include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. Physical Demands is specific content; but is it a standard heading? Not in list of allowed headings. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should map content to these headings. We cannot invent headings not in list. So we need to fit into those categories.
Thus we need to map:
- About the role: could be the summary/intro paragraph.
- Responsibilities: the bullet list under Responsibilities.
- Requirements: could include Minimum Education, Preferred Education, Minimum Years Of Experience, Essential Job Expectations, Physical Demands? But we need to decide. The allowed headings include Requirements and Qualifications. Could combine education/experience under Requirements or Qualifications. Skills: Desired Skills.
- Benefits: we have benefits statement: "We offer a comprehensive package of benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, and 401(k)." Also maybe mention hybrid work schedule? That's Schedule.
- Pay: we have salary range: "$245,087 - $360,967 per year depending on the candidate’s geographic market location." Also mention compensation dependent on other factors. So we can include Pay.
- Schedule: hybrid work schedule mentioned in Location and Work Environment. So we can include Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Also not include Job ID etc.
We must remove boilerplate: disclaimer, application process, accommodation, EEO, etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include location list, hybrid schedule, responsibilities bullet points, desired skills bullet points, education, experience, essential expectations, physical demands? Physical demands maybe not needed if we already have Requirements/Qualifications covering. But we could include under Requirements as a bullet.
We must not create sections with filler text. So each heading must have real content.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Thus produce something like:
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., meaning those are examples, not exclusive? It says "Use

We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Thus produce something like:
About the role
... summary paragraph ...
Location
but Location is not in allowed headings. Not allowed. So we need to incorporate location into maybe About the role or Schedule? But we have Schedule heading allowed. Could put location under About the role? Or we could create awithin About the role that includes location. However guidelines: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., meaning those are examples, not exclusive? It says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. So we should not use Location heading. Instead we can embed location info in About the role or Schedule.
Similarly, we have Work Environment etc. Could embed in Schedule.
Thus sections we will include:
- About the role (summary + location + hybrid schedule maybe)
- Responsibilities
- Requirements (education, experience, essential expectations, physical demands)
- Skills (desired skills)
- Benefits
- Pay
- Schedule (maybe hybrid work schedule)
But we have schedule info already maybe in About the role; but we can still have Schedule section with hybrid work schedule.
We must not repeat content unnecessarily but it's okay to have some overlap? Better to avoid duplication.
Let's extract substantive content:
Summary paragraph: "DLA Piper is, at its core, bold, exceptional, collaborative and supportive. Our people are the backbone, heart and soul of our firm.

We'll have:
About the role
... summary paragraph + location info? We'll include location and hybrid schedule maybe in About the role.
But we also have Schedule section; we could put hybrid schedule there and not duplicate. Let's put location in About the role, and schedule in Schedule section.
Thus About the role paragraph includes summary and location list.
