DLA Piper has sold off the remainder of its defendant insurance team after striking a deal with Mills & Reeve to take the nine-strong Birmingham-based practice.

The team, which is made up of partner Alan Jacobs, associate Felicity Ho, solicitor Jagjit Virdi, plus three other fee-earners and support staff, will make the move to Mills & Reeve’s Colmore Row office on 1 July.
