Newcastle law firm Bond Dickinson’s merger with US firm Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice has officially gone live in a move that has created one of the world’s top 100 biggest law firms.
Womble Bond Dickinson, as the business is now known, has an annual turnover of £340 million (US$410 million), and more than 1,000 lawyers working out of 24 offices across the UK and US.
The transatlantic merger was originally announced in June, a year after the two firms revealed they had struck a strategic alliance to promote collaboration between the businesses.
The merger has allowed Bond Dickinson to increase its overseas reach in a number of regions with similar economies to the North East of England, such as the Carolinas, which have a strong history of manufacturing.
