It’s not only the clients of Am Law 200 firms that are on track to break records for the number of mergers announced in 2015, but also the firms themselves, according to a report released Monday by legal consultancy Altman Weil.

Though the third quarter of 2015, which ended on Sept. 30, 68 law firm mergers have been reported, the most ever counted at this time of year since the Newtown Square, Pennsylvania-based firm began tracking such deals nine years ago.
