Quarles & Brady, fresh off double-digit revenue growth last year and a combination in January that put it in Southern California, is merging with a 12-lawyer intellectual property boutique in Denver.

The Milwaukee-based firm, ranked No. 116 in last year's Am Law 200, is combining with Adsero, a boutique that services Fortune 500 companies and public-sector organizations and boasts "one of the region's top Asia practices," according to the firm.
