DLA is Now 100% Employee Owned

We’re thrilled to share that 100% ownership of DLA Architecture is now held by an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT). After over 45 years of architectural practice, this is a significant milestone for DLA, ensuring the success of the business will be shaped by and directly benefit those who contribute to it every day — our brilliant team.

It marks an exciting new chapter built on transparency, collaboration, and shared success, empowering the next generation of DLA. For our clients, it means a highly invested team with a direct stake in the practice’s future, continuing to drive design quality, creativity, and service. With studios in Leeds, London, and Manchester, we remain committed to delivering outstanding architecture across the UK — and are proud to be a finalist for Architecture Practice of the Year at the Yorkshire Property Awards.
