Ed. note: Welcome to our daily feature, Quote of the Day.

In our first year as a merged firm, we have delivered strong results while making important investments in our business, including reshaping the firm to ensure we are optimally positioned to meet client needs.

We have created a significantly enhanced proposition for our clients: when global businesses face their most pressing strategic needs, they need counsel that can deliver seamlessly across markets and industries. That’s exactly what we’ve built.

— Hervé Ekué, A&O Shearman’s global managing partner, in a statement concerning the firm’s revenue of $3.7 billion in its first financial year post-merger. Ekué went on to say that the firm’s financial record “reflect[s] both the strength of the firm’s single, integrated global partnership and a year of investment in the newly combined firm.”
