If the merger goes ahead, the Hammonds name will go within a year - trust me! And that will be the end of one of the most discredited names in UK law over the last decade.

It is a interesting reflection on the comparative strength of both the reputation of the Hammond's name and the firm's negotiating position in this transaction. We've been down this road before with Mayer Brown/Rowe & Maw and Reed Smith/Richards Butler........

Why keep the Hammonds brand anywhere?

The merger will be great news for all employees of Hammonds, they should focus on the way this will safeguard their jobs rather than on the presentation and branding.
