DLA Piper is set to move to an all-equity partnership across the UK, Europe and Asia after partners at DLA International voted to abandon the existing three-tier structure in preference of a single rank of partner.

Voting on the proposals to move to an all-equity partnership outside the US closed yesterday (13 March) after opening last month, with the firm confirming today (14 March) that it had achieved the majority required to push ahead with the plans.
