DLA Piper is strengthening its Nordic presence, with the firm merging with Finnish firm Peltonen LMR and integrating more closely with its Swedish member firm DLA Nordic.

The merger will see Peltonen rebranded as DLA Piper, with the Swedish arm also taking on the same name from today

DLA has been in a relationship with DLA Nordic  since 2006, but will now integrate systems and processes more closely. The deal will still stop short of full financial integration.
