Foley & Lardner, which more than a year ago broke off tie-up talks with British firm Eversheds, has approached New York’s Friedman Kaplan Seiler & Adelman about a potential tie-up, according to two sources briefed on the matter.
The Milwaukee-based Am Law 100 firm has remained on the hunt for opportunities to expand its operations since its discussions dissolved with Eversheds, which eventually found a merger partner in Atlanta-based Sutherland Asbill & Brennan. The combined 2,300-lawyer firm, Eversheds Sutherland, has continued to grow since going live earlier this year.
