Andrews Kurth Kenyon and Hunton & Williams are in merger talks, two sources told the New York Law Journal this week. While it’s not clear how far the talks have progressed, a merger vote is not imminently expected, sources said.
Houston-based Andrews Kurth, even after acquiring IP boutique Kenyon & Kenyon last year, has been on the prowl for a combination. The firm, with nearly 400 attorneys, has also spoken with other law firms, but the talks with 660-attorney Hunton, based in Richmond, Virginia, appear to be more serious, sources said.
