DLA expands in India Buildings

LAW firm DLA Piper has signed a lease for additional space at India Buildings, taking its presence to 40,000 sq ft in the landmark location in Liverpool’s Water Street.

The deal for the extra 12,000 sq ft with landlord Branchtown runs until 2020 and will continue a relationship that began 75 years ago – the law firm was one of the original tenants when India Buildings opened in 1931. The terms of the rental were not disclosed.

“We have advanced plans to grow in all our core practice areas in Liverpool – corporate, real estate, commercial, financial services, litigation and employment – and the extra space will help us accommodate our expanded teams,” said Philip Rooney, managing partner.

“We also recognise the enormous potential of Liverpool. The general economic climate may be difficult at the moment – but this is about taking a long term view of the city.

“The fundamentals in Liverpool are very good and what has been created here by both the public and private sectors in the run up to 2008 is a fantastic platform for the Liverpool City Region to compete successfully across the UK , in Europe and around the world.”
