The Madrid office currently employs 130 professionals, including partners, lawyers, and support staff. The firm’s commitment to strengthening internal talent and attracting the best is one of the cornerstones of the firm, together with the reinforcement and implementation of the main practice areas in order to offer clients comprehensive and first-class advice, ”states the press release.

“DLA Piper defines itself as a firm for clients rather than for specific matters, whose professionals are always one step ahead to offer proactive advice, anticipating the problem or conflict and with a philosophy that is committed to innovation, sustainability, diversity, and excellence,” said Jesús Zapata, managing partner of DLA Piper Spain, during his speech yesterday.

According to the firm, the celebration of the 20th anniversary in Spain has “sights set on a future that will bring profound changes in the legal profession, and which it faces with optimism and initiatives to continue gaining in competitiveness and adapting to an increasingly demanding market.”

The most immediate challenge will take place this year with the change of headquarters, from 35 to 39 Paseo de Castellana in Madrid, to “a complete, more modern, and sustainable building, in line with the firm’s commitment to ESG values.”, confirms the law firm.

DLA Piper is a global law firm with offices in more than 40 countries in the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
