dla-piperOverview

The legal juggernaut that is DLA Piper continues to plough ahead, having transformed itself with surprising speed from an obscure collection of regional UK practices into a potential global challenger. Though the firm attracts plenty of sniping from rivals, privately most would concede that DLA has been extremely successful at executing its ambitions, becoming in 2007 the UK's fifth-largest law firm (without counting its US practice). Indeed, the firm is arguably the most upwardly-mobile UK practice of the last 20 years, with the inevitable exception of Clifford Chance.
