North Carolina-based Smith Moore Leatherwood, a midsize firm of 130 lawyers—with 20 in Atlanta—has agreed to be acquired by Philadelphia-based Fox Rothschild.

The combination is set to take effect Nov. 1, adding six offices to Fox Rothschild in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. Fox Rothschild will now have more than 900 lawyers across its 27 U.S. offices.
