DLA Phillips Fox has been forced to deny further rumours that it was planning on full financial integration with DLA Piper in the New Year. Industry sources believed that a vote on the move was imminent but a spokesperson for DLA Phillips Fox said that no options had been taken off the table.
“No it’s not true,” she said. “Financial integration remains just one of a number of possibilities that the firm is considering. No date has been set to vote on any of these possibilities.”
This is not the first time that the rumour mill has been proven wrong on this matter and it is unlikely that the denial will stop the gossip mongers peddling their wares. In the meantime, DLA Phillips Fox will get ready to welcome new CEO Tony Holland as he replaces outgoing CEO Tony Crawford in February.
