DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary’s London office has landed one of its biggest client wins so far since its transatlantic merger at the beginning of the year, advising US manufacturer Danaher on its £313m buy-out of Leica Microsystems.

DLA Piper’s London office won the role in a competitive tender against a number of other major UK firms earlier this year to advise Danaher, which manufactures industrial technology and tools.
