The firm now comprises 4,200 lawyers operating out of 76 offices in 30 countries.
Philip Rooney, managing partner of DLA Piper in Liverpool, said: “From Liverpool, we are proud to advise many clients who operate internationally. International links are increasing among businesses in the Liverpool City Region as the reality of global trading makes its mark.
“Our integration means that those who trade or propose to trade internationally benefit from our seamless international reach, market-leading expertise and business awareness in key markets.
“As part of our strategy, we are committed to expansion within the G20 nations, and, within Australia, as the 14th largest industrialised nation, it provides excellent opportunities with its strong ties to some of the most rapidly growing economies in Asia.”
