TONY ANGEL
Moved to DLA Piper
Angel reentered the world of law firm management in November as global cochairman of DLA Piper. During his ten-year reign as managing partner at Linklaters, the firm became a worldwide powerhouse, in part by developing a top-notch cross-border transactional practice and opening a New York office. When Angel left in 2007, Linklaters was one of the most profitable firms in the world. Angel joins DLA Piper from SJ Berwin, where he served as a nonexecutive director advising the firm’s partnership board. He’ll inherit a firm that is the world’s largest and is hoping to expand into Canada.
