DLA Piper has promoted two US partners to the role of chairman alongside the management trio that has been in place since the firm’s formation in 2005, reports The National Law Journal.

Corporate and finance partners Roger Meltzer in New York and Jay Rains in San Diego have been appointed to the office of chair, joining Frank Burch, Lee Miller, and Terry O’Malley, who have held their roles since the tripartite merger which created the firm in 2005.
