MUNICH   On August 1, 2007, the global legal services organization DLA Piper opened a new branch office in Munich. The law office specializes mainly in advisory services in the fields of Corporate / Private Equity as well as Technology, Media and Commercial (TMC). 

“The opening of the Munich office of DLA Piper in the Bavarian capital proves that Munich is an attractive location for financial services and ranks in the top international league”, commented Bavaria’s Minister of Economic Affairs, Erwin Huber.
