Nearly two months to the day after confirming that they had entered formal merger talks—and on the heels of their respective partnerships voting to approve the union—Faegre & Benson and Baker & Daniels announced Wednesday that they will combine operations under the Faegre Baker Daniels name as of January 1.
As The Am Law Daily has previously reported, the two firms confirmed in August that they had begun to discuss the possibility of joining forces to create a combined entity with about 770 lawyers and, according to the most recent Am Law 100 figures, total gross 2010 revenues in excess of $400 million.
