When the honeymoon ends

Article Abstract:

A number of mergers have been carried out among law firms in Manchester, England between fall 1996 and Oct 1997. These mergers include Addleshaw Sons and Latham which has combined with Booth and Co, and Dibb Lupton Broomhead with Alsop Wilkinson. Halliwell Landau and Cobbetts planned a merger which was prevented by a clash of cultures. Cobbetts is seen as more conservative than Halliwell and the two companies have different management styles. Hammond Suddards was created from a merger in 1988 and does not see a merger unlikely unless there is an exceptional fit.
