Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz, a full-service Am Law 200 firm headquartered in Memphis, has agreed to merge with Baltimore-based Ober Kaler on Jan. 1, 2017. The two firms, which will form an 800-lawyer shop under the Baker Donelson banner, announced their combination Monday.

S. Craig Holden, CEO of Ober Kaler, said his firm’s corporate clients are looking for legal services outfits with a broad array of expertise to handle their large matters, which is in part why Ober Kaler began looking for a merger partner about two years ago. Ober Kaler has about 110 lawyers in Baltimore and Washington, D.C.
