DLA Piper has expanded its real estate practice in Singapore with the hire of Ciarán Londra, who was most recently a partner at Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner in Singapore.

Londra, who is joining DLA Piper as a partner, started his legal career as an associate at legacy British firm Denton Wilde Sapte in 2010. He later joined Berwin Leighton Paisner in London and continued with the practice when it merged with Bryan Cave in 2018. He was made partner at Bryan Cave in 2020 and relocated to Singapore in 2021 after the Asia practices of the firm decided to split from the merged entity.
