While the firms had hoped to hold partnership votes in July for an October merger, sources said, the plan is now to formalize the combination before the start of 2025.
Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders’ merger with Locke Lord is looking to wrap up by the end of 2024, according to several sources with knowledge of the discussions.
Sources, including former partners from the firms, said their initial understanding was that the firms planned to have a partnership vote on the merger in July to go into effect in October; however, sources said, more recent communications suggested the merger was likely to go into effect by the end of 2024.
