McDermott Will & Schulte, a newly created Am Law 50 law firm, is integrating its leadership across key management committees, the firm said Monday, having launched a website unifying the two firms’ names. McDermott said the former partners and leaders of legacy New York firm Schulte Roth & Zabel will “assume key roles across the management, executive, and compensation committees.” They will also serve as co-leads for the firm’s New York and London offices, the firm said. The merger—from talks in the early spring to closing on Aug. 1—was completed in a much shorter time frame than is typical for large Big Law combinations. McDermott chair Ira Coleman, in an interview Monday morning, said the speed with which the firms were able to accomplish the merger is a “harbinger of things to come." “This is a perfect example of what law firms can do when they execute quickly and trust each other,” he said. The faith both firms have in their C-suite helped expedite the process, he said, adding that it can show clients that impactful decisions can be made with both speed and accuracy. He said there will likely be some pivots with the tactical elements but the trust of the partnership makes that manageable. In a statement, Marc Elovitz and David Efron lauded the combination. “Combining with McDermott empowers us to broaden our impact, deliver unmatched value, and redefine what clients can expect from their legal partners. We’re excited to chart this future together.” Full story from Patrick Smith: https://lnkd.in/e6CMWCJp
