Correction, 2/21/2013, 8:45 a.m. EST: The original version reported incorrectly on Dechert’s role in this transaction. The firm is serving as antitrust counsel to OfficeMax. Simpson Thacher & Bartlett is providing antitrust counsel to Office Depot. The 11th paragraph of the story has been revised to reflect the correct information. We regret the error.
