What the Team is Known For

DLA Piper has a highly specialised practice with a longstanding association with the Timorese government, stemming from the firm's representation of Timor-Leste in a maritime boundary dispute with Australia. Its team continues to counsel government bodies, both on ongoing boundary-related matters and on mandates linked to the country's continuing economic development. Its areas of particular expertise include oil and gas, infrastructure, resources and transportation.
