DLA Piper’s US practice is set to scale back the size of its associate classes and make more use of staff attorneys as it revamps its associate program, the firm's leaders said. The delayed class of first-year US associates entering the firm in January has 85 lawyers, and only half of those will actually take up posts at the firm, while the other half go into public interest jobs and join the firm during the autumn of 2010, said Frank Burch, the firm's global chairman.
