DLA Piper has appointed Germany-based partner Dr. Benjamin Parameswaran as the new global co-chair for the corporate practice.
Joining the firm in 2010, Parameswaran has been a major part of the corporate team. He is one of the group´s most active M&A partners, having led some of the most valuable global client relationships.
Parameswaran has demonstrated his management and leadership skills as the country managing partner for Germany for the past eight years. He has established DLA Piper as a leading practice in Europe´s most competitive legal markets.
He succeeded Bob Bishop, the London-based partner, who recently stepped away from the position after eight successful years.
Bishop took on the role as the global co-chair in 2014. Under his leadership, the practice witnessed an upward trend. He was instrumental in maintaining the firm's position as the highest-ranking law firm in the world, including the UK and Europe, for M&A deal volume. Leading a team of trusted business advisors, he is seen as a role model.
Simon Levine, the global co-CEO at DLA Piper, stated, "I take this opportunity to thank Bishop for the outstanding contribution he has made in building the world-class corporate practice we have today. I would also like to thank Parameswaran for his fantastic leadership as a country managing partner for Germany for the past eight years and for having made DLA Piper a leading player in the German market. I have no doubt that he will lead the corporate practice group very successfully in the future."
