Partners at London-based SJ Berwin are preparing themselves to vote on what would be a precedent-setting combination with Sino-Australian firm King & Wood Mallesons, The Am Law Daily has confirmed.
Though a firm spokeswoman declined to comment, two SJ Berwin sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed that partners were given notice of the impending vote during a partnership meeting Wednesday. The voting process will begin within the next seven days, the partners were informed, and will close by the end of July—although a decision about whether the combination will proceed could be made as early as next week.
