Allen & Overy and Shearman & Sterling said on Wednesday that they have completed their long-planned merger, officially launching the largest transatlantic law firm combination in years.
They said the union creates a firm with nearly 4,000 lawyers and 3,000 other employees across 47 offices, generating combined revenues of about $3.5 billion.
Leaders of the new firm, A&O Shearman, said they expect a smooth debut after nearly a year of preparations by London-founded Allen & Overy and its smaller counterpart Shearman & Sterling, which was among the top old-line New York law firms.
Context - Both the firms have a dozen of Indian LLB lawyers.
Plus (and I don't know why so many people in India are forgetting this) the almost comical levels of incompetence of the British government, which means that the Lala law firms/SILF actually don't have to work all that hard, as the Brits aren't even prepared for baby arguments from them!
