DLA Piper Shifts Partner Structure

The world's largest law firm plans to switch over to a single-tier partnership designed to decrease the firm's exposure to a risky credit environment. Approximately 275 ''income'' partners that don't have an ownership stake in the firm will be asked to make a capital contribution up to $150,000 in order to join the ranks with the 300 equity partners. DLA Piper would eliminate income partner salaries and trim payroll costs and borrowing needs by raising money from new equity partners. This unprecedented move is expected to put the pressure on attorneys to bring in clients (a crucial component of partner compensation).
