DLA Piper is a leading business legal services organisation with over 4,200 lawyers across 76 offices in 30 countries throughout Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and the US. Our reach is global but our focus is local.

Locally, the people in our Birmingham office play a crucial role in DLA Piper's national and international success; we have been providing legal services to the Midlands business community for over 15 years. We act for many of the Midland's top businesses, as well as serving the needs of national and international clients.

The Birmingham office of DLA Piper offers the breadth and depth of legal support required in today's highly competitive global marketplace. There are 30 partners and over 130 lawyers providing advice on key business areas including corporate, real estate, intellectual property and technology, restructuring, litigation, regulatory, finance, projects, employment and pensions and benefits.

The team is ranked as a regional heavyweight and praised for its ability to 'offer very clear and concise advice on complex issues' in the 2011 edition of the Legal 500 directory which also ranks a number of our key disciplines in the top tier as does the Chambers and Partners directory including Corporate, Restructuring, Health and Safety and Finance.

We are committed to contributing to the fabric of our region and actively support and participate in a number of local community, charitable and business organisations including the Birmingham Legal Advice Clinic, working with Birmingham Settlement, the Prince's Trust Business Mentoring Programme and a variety of local literacy schemes.
