Having just absorbed the bulk of Bingham McCutchen, a first-of-its-kind merger now awaits Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, which is poised to announce a union Monday with Singapore’s Stamford Law Corp.

The combination will make Morgan Lewis the largest global firm in Singapore and the only one with the capacity to practice local law across a range of practice areas. Stamford, an 80-lawyer firm based in Singapore’s Ocean Financial Centre, will adopt the name Morgan Lewis Stamford once the union becomes official on April 1.
