LinklatersLinklaters’ Dutch ally De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek is pushing to secure an integration agreement among its partnership by July, as the leading Dutch firm moves to resolve its long-running merger talks.

De Brauw is looking for a final decision, including a partnership vote, before the end of July that will see either De Brauw absorbed into Linklaters, or a review of its long-term relationship with the City firm.
