Foley & Lardner and Gardere Wynne Sewell have become the latest pair of large law firms to discuss the possibility of a union before year's end.
Two sources familiar with the operations of both firms confirmed the talks, with one individual claiming that Gardere's partnership had voted to approve the deal. The other source said that Foley & Lardner had previously discussed a combination with the Texas-based firm last year.
Foley & Lardner spokeswoman Jill Chanen confirmed that the 840-lawyer firm and Gardere were evaluating the prospects of a combination, one that would bring together firms that had 2016 gross revenues of $671 million and $151.5 million, respectively.
