Seyfarth/D'Ancona merger
Yet another longstanding firm name bites the dust in this year of consolidation in the Chicago legal scene, as Seyfarth Shaw acquired D'Ancona and Pflaum this past week, creating another large-scale firm here (with about 270 lawyers)... Sounds like the attorneys lost in the shakeout of this deal will be minimal, but some staff will be cut loose.
For those keeping score, that's four well known Chicago firms that are no longer with us this year, including Peterson & Ross and Altheimer & Gray (dissolutions) and Ross & Hardies (merger with McGuire Woods)...
Who's next?? Will Bell Boyd or other midsize firms be back on the front burner for a merger or acquisition? Stay tuned.
