Two weeks after Dewey Ballantine and Orrick broke off merger talks, fallout continues. Two more partners last week decamped from Dewey, raising the question of whether the departures will mark the end of an exodus of more than a dozen partners who have left the firm after it began merger talks with Orrick or if there are more to come. The split also represents at least the fourth time in four years that Orrick has failed to cinch a merger, prompting speculation about why the firm can't close these deals.
