Law firm Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP is in merger talks with Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP.
Representatives from both firms characterized the talks as “preliminary.”
A deal would result in a unified law firm with about 1,740 attorneys around the world.
San Francisco-based Orrick had revenue of $847.5 million last year compared to Akin’s $719 million.
