The vote for a fully integrated merger between Ashurst LLP and Ashurst Australia could take place as early as October, UK publication The Lawyer has reported.

The Lawyer reported that voting would take place on an online platform, with 75 percent approval required by the UK partnership.  It was unknown what approval percentage was required from the Australian partnership for the deal to proceed.

The firm previously known as Blake Dawson changed its branding to Ashurst last year, but deferred the decision on full financial integration which is now under consideration.
