Description
With major international law firm mergers dominating the headlines, questions continue to arise in both the business and regulatory space. What are the benefits of integration vs alliance? How do firms address regulatory issues where one jurisdiction permits alternative business structures and others don't? Are there regional or international trends emerging? This panel will explore "what to think of when thinking of a law firm merger" in light of these challenges.
