Unsung it may have been, but a deal to unite Hammonds and Squire Sanders & Dempsey has now arrived, less than three months after news of the talks was announced. With the tie-up set to go live on 1 January 2011, the question is not whether it can live up to expectations - rivals have not been kind - but whether the deal can deliver on its own terms. On that basis, the logic of the tie-up is understandable, with partners seeing a neatly-fitting global network as a key benefit. Squire Sanders will gain a sizeable London presence and some coverage across Western Europe in Paris, Madrid and Italy while also benefiting from a beefed-up presence in Brussels and a Berlin office to complement its Frankfurt base.
