US: Squire Patton Boggs grabs San Francisco firm

By  |  February 22, 2016

International law firm Squire Patton Boggs will acquire the smaller California-based law firm Carroll, Burdick & McDonough, the firms announced Monday.

The deal, slated to become effective in March, will bring together Squire’s 1,500 attorneys with Carroll Burdick’s 50.

Squire’s most recently reported annual revenue, from 2014, is $870.5 million; Carroll Burdick does not report its revenue figures publicly.

In Washington, Squire Patton Boggs is best known for its lobbying practice, which it picked up in 2014 after Squire Sanders merged with lobbying powerhouse Patton Boggs. The combined firm now has the nation’s third-largest lobbying practice, earning nearly $25 million in lobbying revenue in 2015.

“With this combination, and the new relationships that come with it, we have even greater opportunities to better serve our clients with strong and developing global businesses,” Squire Patton Boggs Chairman Mark Ruehlmann said in a statement.
