CORRECTION, 5/15/12, 2:00 p.m. EDT: The original version of this post misstated the percentage rise in Locke Lord’s profits per partner from 2010 to 2011. That statistic has been fixed in the fifth paragraph. We regret the error.
What a difference five years make.
The merger between Texas firm Locke Liddell & Sapp and Chicago’s Lord, Bissell & Brook became official on October 2, 2007. But the tie-up that produced the firm now known as Locke Lord was lost in the glare of the merger one day before of venerable New York firms Dewey Ballantine and LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene & MacRae.
