Thompson & Knight, Holland & Knight In Talks for Tie-Up
“Holland & Knight and Thompson & Knight announced on Friday that they are in talks for a merger that would unite two of the largest law firms from Florida and Texas, respectively,” reports Meghan Tribe in Bloomberg Law’s Business & Practice.
“According to a joint statement released by the firms and viewed by Bloomberg Law, the two are in the midst of due diligence in connection with the combination that they expect to complete in the next 90 days. A tentative closing date is set for the summer, the statement said.”
“The combined firm would have nearly 1,600 lawyers across 30 offices, placing it among the largest law firms in the U.S.”
“This proposed combination would expand significantly each firm’s presence in important geographic markets and would also improve the breadth of the services offered to clients in key industries, said Mark Sloan, managing partner of Thompson & Knight and Steven Sonberg, managing partner of Holland & Knight, in the statement.”
