K&L Gates chief blasts Norton Rose's 'Noah's ark' mergers

Some of the above postings must be from people who simply don't appreciate or understand that all international law firms must operate in compliance with applicable local laws and bar regulations, as well as in a tax efficient manner. Of course KL Gates uses a number of different legal entities - AS DOES EVERY SINGLE OTHER INTERNATIONAL LAW FIRM. As far as Kallis' comments are concerned, although I am not associated with any of the three firms, from where I am sitting this looks very positive for them, and I wish them well. For firms with turnovers of less than £500m or so (including my own), you had better be the absolute market leader in what you do, or else accept that you will come under every greater marging squeezing competition. UK-mid-market firms.... you have not got much time. Get on with the mergers!
