Making Your Merger a Success
The recent collapse of Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP and other large firms has highlighted the importance of pre-merger due diligence. While I was not involved in the merger of the two firms, I did consult to both firms individually prior to their merger and was both sad at the demise of a great firm and (like many) dismayed when the details of the internal workings of the firm (and mistakes made during the merger that appear to have doomed the enterprise from the beginning) became public.

The DOJ's New Parameters for Evaluating Corporate Compliance Programs
