Headline

SJ Berwin and Proskauer Rose: the talks are over

Comment

SJ Berwin has performed the curious double of allowing too much information for too long to the outside world and too little to the fee-earners at the sharp end of the prospective merger. The whole process has cost the firm partners already, and may cost them more in the medium-term. Next time a merger is lined up, a period of silence will be welcome, indeed essential, from all concerned, if it is to be concluded. The opportunities are not unlimited, and they already may be running out. Proskauer Rose may be bruised, but they'll survive. It's hard to be as sanguine about their UK counterpart.
