Salans has closed its deal to take on the bulk of disintegrating Altheimer & Gray’s remaining international network, handing the firm 57 lawyers, 13 partners and five offices in total.

The closure of the Salans deal comes after two months of negotiations in the wake of Altheimers’ surprise decision to dissolve earlier this year. It gives Salans five more international offices in Prague, Bratislava, Bucharest, Istanbul and Shanghai.
