DLA Piper LLP

DLA Piper is a global law firm with lawyers across more than 40 countries, and its Boston office is part of that international network. The firm advises businesses through growth, change and complexity, combining industry-focused legal practice with commercial insight, and pitches itself on making cross-border work seamless for clients. It was formed in 2005 through the merger of the UK firm DLA with the American firms Piper Rudnick and Gray Cary, and it ranks among the largest law firms in the world.

The firm’s work spans corporate transactions, litigation, regulation and emerging technology. Recent matters include advising IntraBio on its US$2.0 billion acquisition by Shionogi, and its lawyers publish regular analysis on developing issues such as trade secret protection when employees use public AI tools, state laws governing synthetic performers, and federal digital asset legislation like the CLARITY Act. That stream of commentary gives clients a window into how the firm tracks fast-moving areas of law.
