Simmons and Mayer Brown merger talks: round two

Mayer Brown is anything but a "power house" in the US. It had a great litigation practice, but that is in reverse with most of its stars having left. There's not much else after that. No finance, no M&A of any substance, just a collection of sole practitioners doing their own thing and sharing expenses (like a very costly London merger and even more costly Asia merger). It may be a good tie up, but S&S would be mad to do it for the US side of things.
