McDermott and Schulte Roth Advance Merger Talks, Poised for Major New York Expansion

McDermott Will & Emery and Schulte Roth & Zabel are progressing in their merger discussions, with expectations to hold a partnership vote within approximately 90 days. The merger, initiated around eight to ten weeks ago, has not yet determined a combined name for the firms. Should the merger succeed, their New York office would be among the largest in Manhattan, comparable in size to many established Wall Street firms. This strategic move is poised to significantly enhance their presence in the competitive New York legal landscape. Further details are available in The American Lawyer.
