Former PM takes consultancy role at global giant


Former Prime Minister David Cameron has joined DLA Piper as a consultant, following reports last month that he was in discussions about a possible role at the global law firm.

Cameron served as Prime Minister from 2010 to 2016, stepping down after the Brexit referendum result. He returned to politics in 2023 as Foreign Secretary under Rishi Sunak and was appointed a life peer.

The firm said the ex-PM will provide guidance on the “various geographies in which the firm operates, including on the issue of geopolitical risk”.

I wonder if his email signature will say David Cameron or Lord David Cameron

Lord Cameron is a noble so what earthly issue do you and others have with paying him due respect with his correct title.
