Despite reports in the US legal press that the merger between Squire Sanders and Washington-headquartered lobbying firm Patton Boggs may have hit the buffers at the 11th hour, the firms today (27 May) announced that the merger has been voted through.
The combined firm, Squire Patton Boggs, will comprise approximately 1,600 lawyers – of which 1,223 are legacy Squires Sanders and 334 from Patton Boggs – across 45 offices. The new firm will come into effect on June 1 2014, after both partnerships voted in favour of the merger last week.
