What the team is known for
A firm frequently endorsed for its geographic reach, DLA Piper is highlighted by sources as delivering an integrated approach to an array of transactional and contentious proceedings. Across its network, the firm has a strong commitment to sector groups and industry-focused expertise, with retail, pharmaceuticals and technology representing key areas of focus.
Life sciences remains a key part of the firm's industry specialism in the USA with a well-regarded nationwide platform that links up well with the firm's other offices, particularly in the UK. The team in California plays an important role in the practice, handling a mixture of regulatory compliance and corporate commercial work. The firm is regularly instructed on cross-border IP matters across its US offices and the strong reputation of the team in Washington DC for handling international brand management, trade secrets and portfolio protection lends itself well to serve the needs of global life sciences firms.
