Firm Overview:

DLA Piper is one of the world's leading law firms, trusted by three quarters of the DAX40 companies in Germany.

For our team, the needs and challenges of our clients are the top priority every day. We support you across all current and emerging legal issues - locally as well as globally. In doing so, we always keep an eye on the constant market change and the increasing velocity of that change. In this volatile environment, we continuously adapt our working methods and procedures, empower our employees, and encourage creativity and innovation.

After all, the complex issues of today require more than just a differentiated solution approach for the present. That is why we make it a point to look beyond the legal horizon and to not only be a reliable partner but also a strategic partner for our clients. We accompany them into the future in a flexible and contemporary manner.

You benefit from our anticipatory full-service approach, a resilient global network and our overarching goal of turning risks into opportunities while shaping the future with confidence. Together with you, we develop resilient, forward-looking and creative solutions that empower you to navigate confidently at all times – especially through unknown legal territory.

Crossing new horizons together.
