Five years after its merger with Rowe & Maw made it one of the largest law firms in the world, Chicago-based Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw's controlling partners are rumored to be in a turf war for control, with the future of the firm resting in the hands of the London office's managing partner, Paul Maher. Meanwhile, at least 20 partner defections in New York, sagging profits in the New York and London offices, a controversial de-equitization of partners and a looming malpractice suit have rocked the firm.

Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw is somewhere between the West of its youth and the East of its future.
To the west is Chicago, the firm’s founding city, where a powerful vanguard resides. That includes a majority of its 13-member policy and planning committee, final arbiter on all decisions that matter. To the east is London and Paul Maher, the firm’s formidable 47-year-old vice chairman, ominously dubbed by some Mayer Brown wags as the “Dark Sith Lord.”
