About DLA Piper (Canada) LLP
DLA Piper (Canada) LLP is the Toronto office of DLA Piper, an international law firm with offices across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific. The Toronto office has more than 90 lawyers who advise technology, financial services, capital markets, life sciences, and real estate and construction clients. The practice covers corporate and commercial law, mergers and acquisitions, finance, private equity, dispute resolution, intellectual property, employment, tax, and restructuring, and Chambers, The Legal 500, and Lexpert have all ranked members of the Toronto team.
The Canadian practice traces back to Davis LLP, a firm founded in Vancouver in 1892 that combined with DLA Piper in 2015 to form DLA Piper (Canada) LLP, which also has offices in other Canadian cities. In November 2024, the Toronto office moved to the top floors of the Bay Adelaide Centre West Tower, a 51-story, LEED Gold-certified building on Bay Street in the city's Financial District.
