The proposed combination between McKenna Long & Aldridge and global megafirm Dentons is off, the firms have confirmed.

After several delays, McKenna put the proposed deal to its partnership for a vote Tuesday—but called a halt to the voting by midday because of too much opposition. The partners received an email before the balloting had closed informing them that the firm’s board had decided not to go forward with the merger, according to a McKenna partner.
