DLA Piper was formed in 2005 after a merger between DLA, Piper Rudnick, and Gray Cary Ware & Freidenrich. DLA Piper's headquarters is located at 160 Aldersgate Street, London. The firm represents more clients in a broader range of geographies and practice disciplines than virtually any other law firm in the world.
DLA Piper's lawyers have wide experience in arbitration, banking, competition and trade, as well as corporate crime and corporate finance, and have developed key practices in employment, energy, hospitality and leisure, insurance, intellectual property, litigation, mergers and acquisitions, and pensions, private equity, real estate, tax, and technology. DLA Piper has announced its 2025 global financial results, delivering USD4.6 billion in revenue (up 8.4% year-over-year) and profit per equity partner of USD4.14 million (up 19.6%). The firm reports roughly 4,827 attorneys and operates in more than 90 offices across over 40 countries, making it the 2nd largest firm in the United States by headcount.
