A spokesperson for UK-headquartered law firm Olswang has confirmed that it is in talks with CMS and Nabarro for a potential three-way merger.
The spokesperson said that Olswang’s leadership team is in the middle of discussions with the other two firms. “The leadership believes that this combination will create a differentiated, modern firm that will combine scale with an exceptional depth of sector expertise,” she added.
The combined revenue of the three firms is estimated to be about $1 billion.
However, she pointed out that there should not be any assumptions about the outcome of the discussions. “We will provide an update in due course and will not be offering any further comment at this stage,” she said.
CMS and Nabarro did not respond to requests for comment at the time of writing.
