Mayer Brown courtship of Simmons founders

It is quite bewildering that Simmons can be thought of as a merger candidate. I mean, what does this firm have going for it? A group of lateral hire partners who were not good enough to make it at the top firms, total lack of focus, uninspiring management, high overheads, a move into securitisation just as the market tanked, unhappy junior partners, I could go on. Mayer Brown should be aiming much higher.
