A little more than a year after absorbing Los Angeles-based LinerDLA Piper has continued to expand its office in the City of Angels by bringing on a pair of former Greenberg Traurig partners to co-chair its entertainment finance practice.

Thomas Ara and Robert Sherman, both of whom joined Greenberg Traurig in 2014 from Reed Smith, specialize in advising clients in the media, entertainment and finance industries. Both partners will be based in DLA Piper’s office in Century City, California, where Ara will also lead his new firm’s entertainment transactions practice.
