U.S.-based Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal LLP and UK-based Denton Wilde Sapte LLP have agreed to combine forces. The combined firm, to be called SNR Denton, will have more than 1,400 lawyers and professionals based in 18 countries. Not technically a merger, the partnership is being structured as a Swiss Verein, similar to other large cross-border professional services tie-ups. However, SNR Denton will operate as one globally integrated firm. Its two largest offices will be London and New York.

Denton has one of the oldest pedigrees of any British law firm ' its origins stem from two City of London firms founded in late 1700s. In recent years, the firm has expanded into a number of emerging markets, including Russia and the former Soviet states, Turkey, the Middle East and Africa.

Sonnenschein, founded in Chicago in 1906, has offices in the Midwest and Southwest in addition to California, Washington and New York, as well as its own European offices in Brussels and Zurich.

Roetzel & Andress LPA announced that W. Scott Callahan and Cory L. Taylor have joined the firm's Orlando, FL, office as partners in the Real Estate practice group. Both attorneys most recently practiced in the Orlando office of Ruden McClosky, where Mr. Callahan served as managing partner. Roetzel & Andress has significantly grown its Orlando office, adding 18 attorneys since opening in 2006.

Mr. Callahan practices in the areas of commercial real estate development, financing, environmental mitigation, and asset-based lending. He represents landlords in connection with the leasing of office buildings, shopping centers and warehouses, and he also counsels clients in lease negotiations. He has extensive experience in land acquisition and financing, development and construction matters, commercial loan workouts and foreclosure litigation.

Ms. Taylor focuses her practice on commercial real estate, including acquisitions and sales, development, leasing, financing, and commercial loan foreclosures and workouts. She is also a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Accredited Professional (LEED AP) by the U.S. Green Building Council, and is the second attorney in Roetzel & Andress' Orlando office to obtain this nationally recognized standard. In this capacity, she assists clients in environmental mitigation and in applying sustainable building standards and practices to commercial construction buildings.
