DLA Piper hires star litigator in Washington DC

DLA Piper has hired star Washington D.C. litigator Jamie Wareham from Paul Hastings. Wareham was formerly the global chair of litigation at Paul Hastings, and with his substantial client roster – including UBS and Chevron – he doesn’t come cheap. Reports indicate that he will receive $5.5 million in annual compensation at DLA Piper. “I look forward to doing all that I can do to advance DLA’s global platform,” Wareham said. “There are only going to around 10 truly global firms in the years to come and DLA will be one of them.”
