DLA Piper’s international arm more than doubled its borrowing in the financial year to April 2019 while revenue neared £1 billion ($1.3 billion), its newly-filed limited liability partnership accounts show.

Borrowing hit £67.2 million ($87.6 million) at the firm’s international entity, which comprises countries outside the U.S., Canada, South America and the Nordic region. The firm attributed the increase to continued investment in the business, including the move of its London office to new premises and investment in the firm’s IT systems.
