Just a day after the US elected Donald Trump as its new president, New York and Washington firms Kaye Scholer and Arnold & Porter have today (10 November) announced a combination to create a $1bn firm, the largest combination of US firms so far this year.
The merger will go live on 1 January 2017, with the firm to be renamed Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer. It will have 1,000 offices across nine domestic and four international locations, including London.
