Dykema Gossett is doing its part to accelerate the consolidation of the legal market in 2018. The Detroit-headquartered national firm announced Tuesday that it is swallowing up Washington, D.C.’s Loss, Judge & Ward, with plans to consummate a “strategic combination” with the litigation boutique Jan. 1, 2019.

The deal stands to double each firm’s D.C. presence. Dykema ranked 137th in the 2018 Am Law 200, with nearly 400 lawyers and more than $212 million gross annual revenues to its name. Loss Judge lists 12 lawyers on its website.
