DLA Piper named to IAOP's Global 100 list for eleventh consecutive year
DLA Piper has been listed on IAOP’s 2026 Global 100 list, reflecting the strength of the firm’s global Technology Transactions and Strategic Sourcing practice.
The firm’s 11th consecutive year of recognition includes “Sustained Excellence” status for being listed for five or more consecutive years and an “All-Star” distinction for exceptional scoring across IAOP’s judging categories, including Customer References, Awards and Certifications, Programs for Innovation, and Programs for Social Impact.
“In a market defined by rapid change – from cloud and AI to heightened regulatory and security expectations – clients need sourcing strategies that are flexible, defensible, and commercially sound. IAOP’s recognition reflects our team’s commitment to delivering exactly that,” said Vinny Sanchez, Los Angeles-based Global Co-Chair of DLA Piper’s Global Technology Transactions and Strategic Sourcing practice.
“IAOP’s recognition reflects the consistency and collaboration of our global team and the trust clients place in us to deliver practical, commercial advice on complex cross-border technology transactions,” said Lauren Hurcombe, Hong Kong-based Global Co-Chair of DLA Piper’s Global Technology Transactions and Strategic Sourcing practice.
“Clients are balancing cost, resilience, and innovation, and sourcing decisions sit at the center of that equation. IAOP’s recognition highlights our team’s ability to help clients structure deals that work in practice, not just on paper,” said Anthony Day, London-based Global Co-Chair of DLA Piper’s Global Technology Transactions and Strategic Sourcing practice.
DLA Piper's globally recognized Technology Transactions and Strategic Sourcing practice concentrates on complex technology, sourcing, and outsourcing transactions, which frequently span many countries. The group also serves as a trusted digital advisor to clients by helping them navigate the legal and operational risks associated with digital transformation, including the adoption of emerging technologies (such as artificial intelligence, IoT, cloud computing and blockchain/DLT), participation in complex digital ecosystems and the evolution of business models that leverage both technology and data as strategic assets.
