Proskauer funds team to drive SJ Berwin talks

In response to the question why would anyone want to merge with SJB, SJB has the best private equity funds practice in Eurpose by a considerable distance and it already serves the biggest private equity groups. It completes around 20 private equity deals a year with A&O, its closest competitor on three. Given the chance to put that on a global scale then why would any firm not want to merge with SJB? This leads me onto my next respons to the statement that SJB is in decline. Based on its huge presence in private equity, following a financial crises of this scale, it is always going to decline in these times, along with everyone else. However, as soon as the market picks back up to full speed SJB will continue its unprecedented growth.
