DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary announced Sept. 26 that it will be acquiring the bulk of Coudert Brothers’ office in Brussels — roughly 35 attorneys — with eight joining as partners. The move, which is still subject to partner approval, will give DLA Piper more than 100 lawyers in Belgium.
According to Steven De Keyser, managing partner of DLA Piper’s Belgium practice and its managing director of continental Europe and the main person behind the expansion, the Coudert attorneys will probably bring with them about 10 million Euros worth of business, or roughly $12.5 million.
