DLA Piper says it will move its Auckland office to new premises in the PwC Tower at Commercial Bay from June 2019.

The firm says it has committed to lease two floors in the 39-level premium commercial development planned for Auckland's CBD area and will create a state-of-the-art, open plan workplace environment.

“Our vision for this new office is to create a modern, flexible, workplace using the latest technology to   promote collaboration and, most importantly, be a great place to work for our people and our clients," says DLA Piper Global Co-CEO Simon Levine.

"We are investing in this new office design model across the world, for example in Brisbane, Sydney and Manchester.  Our new address in Auckland supports our vision to be the leading global business law firm by combining local expertise and global presence at central business locations."
