DLA Piper was created in 2005 by the merger of Dibb Lupton Alsop, Piper Rudnick and Gray Cary, followed by aggressive growth in the CIS, Germany, Spain, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and further recent growth across the Americas, including Canada and Mexico, in Africa, the Nordic region, as well as further integration with DLA Piper New Zealand. The strategy was simple - to create a truly global firm capable of taking care of the most important legal needs of clients wherever they do business.

  • Sentencing guidelines for corporate manslaughter

    In February 2010 the Sentencing Guidelines Council (the SGC) issued definitive guidelines to courts on imposing appropriate sentences for corporate manslaughter and health and safety offences causing death. The SGC states that fines imposed on companies found guilty of corporate manslaughter should not fall below £500,000, while fines in respect of health and safety offences that are a significant cause of death should be at least £100,000. Crucially, the SGC declined to provide for a fixed link between the imposed fine and the turnover or profitability of the offending company.
