DLA Piper International’s operating costs have increased by £10.6m to £502.7m according to the firm’s latest LLP accounts, which DLA said is ‘largely attributable to inflationary salaries and key investments into delivering effective and efficient client service’ including project management capabilities and the transfer of 200 business support jobs in the UK to Warsaw last year.
Paul Edwards, DLA’s chief financial officer told Legal Business that this wouldn’t be more than half of the £10.6m figure.
