DLA Piper, which in April laid off eight associates in Dubai, is making another 22 positions redundant in its Middle East offices.
Those affected are one partner, eight non-partner lawyers, and 13 staff. One third of the layoffs are in the Dubai office.
The firm has offices in Cairo, Abu Dhabi, Doha, and Kuwait.
DLA Piper is one of the largest law firms in the world, and is (or at least was) the only firm with more than 3,700 lawyers in North America and Europe.
