When intellectual property litigator Paul Gupta jumped to DLA Piper last month after a seven-year stint at Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, he says he did so because he was eager to take advantage of the firm’s vast global platform. "As my practice kept growing, I felt a need to help clients in different cities and countries," he says. "[Recently] I’ve been spending time staffing matters in Atlanta and Brazil. I wouldn’t have had those opportunities before moving to DLA Piper."
The move to DLA offered Gupta something else: the opportunity to join his ninth law firm in a nearly 40-year career. And while that may seem like a lot of moves for one lawyer to makeeven in an era marked by aggressive lateral partner hiringthe 63-year-old Gupta says the peripatetic path he has followed is natural given the way his legal practice has changed over time.
