Arnold & Porter and Kaye Scholer, two firms with declining revenue and profits last year, announced Thursday morning that they have agreed to combine by Jan. 1, 2017, and form Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer.

The union represents further consolidation among mid-size and large firms seeking to compete with global giants and to bulk up in critical and competitive legal markets.
