Two international law firms are in high-level merger talks in a move that would create a behemoth with 2,500 lawyers, an individual with knowledge of the discussions said on Wednesday. Together, the two firms — Hogan & Hartson, based in Washington, and Lovells, in London — hope to capitalize on international litigation as investors turn to emerging markets. (New York Times)

Huge news, if it's true. I wonder how many lawyers are gonna get sacked, and if any will be in Shanghai or Beijing?
