This report in this morning from ALB who write:
Gilbert + Tobin managing partner Danny Gilbert has said that his firm has not excluded the possibility of an international firm merger.
“I never say no to anything, but we don’t have any such engagement at the moment. But if one of the world’s leading law firms came to us with a proposition, we’d certainly have a look at it,” he told ALB.
However, Gilbert also said that he did not think that there would be much enthusiasm on the part of international firms to pursue Australian mergers and that most quality Australian firms were “a little too large” to be absorbed.
Gilbert was speaking with ALB as part of the 2009 ALB-LexisNexis Managing Partner interview series. You can view a clip of his comments in full by clicking http://au.legalbusinessonline.com/videos/danny-gilbert-on-the-next-12-months-in-the-legal-services-market/1/37616
