The legal ecosystem is witnessing a resurgence of the “revolving door” phenomenon, with increasing numbers of lawyers transitioning between private practice and government roles. Significantly, DLA Piper has announced the appointment of Sir David Lidington, a former U.K. cabinet minister, to their board as a non-executive director.
Sir Lidington’s political career includes manifold cabinet roles, most notably serving as the secretary of state for justice from 2017 to 2018. This period of public service followed his tenure as a Conservative MP. The addition of Lidington’s expertise to DLA Piper’s board accentuates the firm’s ambition to bolster relationships between legal practitioners and government entities.
