Holme Roberts & Owen, a 175 attorney firm based in Denver, has reached a merger deal with Bryan Cave, the firms announced yesterday. The two firms’ partnerships have approved the move to join forces as a single firm to be known as Bryan Cave after the tie-up becomes official on Jan. 1. The merger will expand Bryan Cave’s reach into the Rocky Mountain region and give it more than 1,100 lawyers in offices in 26 cities.
“Combining with [Holme Roberts] represents a unique opportunity for both firms to expand the resources we can offer to our clients while reinforcing a shared culture dedicated to superior client service,” Bryan Cave chairman Doncq G. Lents said in a statement announcing the merger. “Extending our geographic reach while expanding the range of our services in California are important steps in our firm’s long-term growth.”
