DLA Piper managing partner says move to Harbor East has energized firm

The view from the 11th floor of a Harbor East office tower has given new perspective to the nearly 100-person DLA Piper Baltimore office. The firm ended a 23-year stay on a leafy, sprawling campus in Mt. Washington to move to 650 S. Exeter St. in June. DLA’s 10-year lease there allows the firm to join Gordon Feinblatt LLC, Hogan Lovells LLP and Saul Ewing LLP at the upscale waterfront enclave that seems like a world away from some older office buildings in the nearby central business district.
