Bad actors sometimes impersonate or otherwise falsely claim to be partners, employees, or representatives of DLA Piper LLP (US) on social media, the internet, and in direct electronic communications like email or text messages. These impersonators may use the DLA Piper name and logo, as well as partner or employee names and job titles, in an attempt to obtain your personal, sensitive, or financial information. Examples of such scams include, but are not limited to, requests relating to (i) unpaid and allegedly overdue invoices, (ii) financial settlements, (iii) tax liabilities, (iv) offers to recover money, and (v) offers of job opportunities.

DLA Piper, its partners, and its employees are not involved in these scams. Scammers’ use of the firm’s name and those of its personnel is not authorized.
