Orrick, Pillsbury call off big U.S. law firm merger, by Casey Sullivan, Editing by Ted Botha, Phil Berlowitz, and Diane Craft)(with hat tip to Pamela Woldow!)
The potential merger between the California-based Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe and Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman in New York would have created one of the largest law firms in the country. It was first reported by Reuters on October 25.
Orrick Chairman Mitch Zuklie and Pillsbury Chairman James Rishwain said in a joint interview that a conflict of interest between clients in Orrick’s public finance practice and Pillsbury’s tax, environmental and real estate practices killed the merger.
