Overview
- Partners at both firms voted overwhelmingly to combine into a single global practice called Ashurst Perkins Coie.
- The merged firm is projected to have about 3,000 lawyers across more than 50 offices with roughly US$2.8 billion in combined revenue.
- Planned flagship hubs include Seattle, London, Sydney, and New York to anchor work across key markets.
- The firms say the platform will focus on technology, energy and infrastructure, and financial services alongside complex transactions and litigation.
- The combination remains subject to customary closing conditions after the proposal was first announced in November last year, and leaders cite early AI adoption and a shared culture as key strengths.
