Headline

Simmons and Mayer Brown merger talks: round two

Comment

There's more to this than just London. Both firms would be substantially strengthened in France and Germany, MB acquires it's own presences in Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal and UAE. Those offices will all benefit from the MB strength in US, Brazil and Asia. MB would have 60% of it's lawyers outside the US which will hardly be US centric. MB is an extremely strong Finance, Telecoms and Litigation firm - combined strengths in London for the two firms. Global clients want global strength and relationships, this looks like a smart deal.
