Boston-based Bingham McCutchen completed an agreement Tuesday to acquire Washington, D.C.'s Swidler Berlin, a month earlier than expected. "It was just an easy deal," says Bingham Chairman Jay Zimmerman. The merger adds 115 Swidler lawyers to Bingham's 60-lawyer Washington shop, and bulks up the firm's lobbying and telecom practice areas. The deal conflicted out Swidler's bankruptcy group, which went to Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, and its insurance group, which joined Heller Ehrman.
