Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge and Wildman, Harrold, Allen & Dixon are to merge from October 1 to create a 14-office, 650-lawyer firm known as Edwards Wildman Palmer, writes The Am Law Daily. The announcement comes a little more than a month after The Am Law Daily reported that the firms had entered advanced merger talks.
Walter Reed, managing partner of Boston-based Edwards Angell, said the firm was drawn to Wildman because of its presence in the growing Chicago and Los Angeles markets, as well as to the likely synergies between the firms’ clients, practices, and cultures.
