Overview
- The planned firm, Ashurst Perkins Coie, would count roughly 3,000 lawyers across 52 offices in 23 countries with flagship hubs in Seattle, London, Sydney and New York.
- Revenue is estimated at about $2.6–$2.7 billion, which industry reporting says would place the combined practice around the top 20 globally by size.
- Leadership would be shared by Bill Malley and Paul Jenkins as global co-CEOs, with Karen Davies and Brian Eiting serving as co-chairs.
- The firms cite a strategy centered on technology, energy and infrastructure, and financial services, and they emphasize deploying AI to enhance legal work and client advisory.
- The combination remains subject to partner approval and customary conditions, with votes expected early next year and closing anticipated in 2026 while both firms operate independently until then.
