Growing global legal giants Squire Patton Boggs and Hogan Lovells both made major moves over the July 4 weekend, with the latter poised to open two new offices in Latin America later this year through its union with a 70-lawyer firm in Mexico, while the former has absorbed a five-lawyer corporate boutique in Tokyo.
Squire Patton Boggs, a 1,573-lawyer firm that went live on June 1 following a much-anticipated merger between Patton Boggs and Squire Sanders, announced Monday its acquisition of the Mamiya Law Offices (MLO), a three-partner shop that advises on M&A and private equity deals, litigation and international arbitration matters, according to our affiliate publication The Asian Lawyer.
