The move will create a firm of 310 lawyers in more than 135 offices, reports the ABA Journal. The bankruptcy practice is to be called Jacoby & Meyers Bankruptcy.
In a statement, the merged business said it would seek ‘to separate itself from other consumer law firms in the US by making its legal footprint across the US more than four times the size of its closest law firm competitor’.
Chase Givens, mergers and acquisitions manager at Jacoby, told the National Law Journal that ‘this is a huge step’, paving the way for more mergers this year.
Jacoby, which is known for its work in personal injury law, is seeking to expand into areas including criminal defence, pharmaceutical litigation and social security disability law.
