Simmons and Mayer Brown merger talks: round two

The office networks of the two firms fit together almost perfectly. This merger would at a stroke deliver Mayer Brown a credible platform in Europe and the Middle East, and Simmons a credible platform in the U.S. It would also give the combined firm the resources to compete with larger competitors like Hogan Lovells. Simmons is currently in a very awkward position, much bigger than niche firms like Macfarlanes but far smaller than the biggest international firms. It needs a merger.
