DLA Piper Dublin Transatlantic Summit and Five-Year Anniversary Celebration

Join us on Wednesday, 18 September for our exclusive, invite-only Transatlantic Summit which will be held in the historic venue, The Round Room at the Mansion House, located in the heart of Dublin city centre, just a stone’s throw from our DLA Piper home on Molesworth Street.

As we mark and celebrate five years of DLA Piper establishing our international offering in Dublin, our agenda promises to be an examination of issues influencing organisations on a global scale, both sides of the Atlantic, underscored by the future of legal innovation and geopolitical insights from senior industry leaders.

We are delighted to announce our keynote speaker will be Paschal Donohoe, Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform and President of the Eurogroup.
