Crouch & Ramey of Dallas will merge with Atlanta-based Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton on Nov. 2, giving 620-lawyer Kilpatrick Townsend an office in Texas, where it has clients, and providing Crouch & Ramey with opportunity to expand its practice via the larger firm.

All 21 lawyers at Crouch & Ramey, predominantly a litigation firm, are making the move. The new Dallas office is the 18th worldwide for Kilpatrick Townsend, and the 15th in the United States.
