One of the most challenging and most complex parts of a corporate merger or acquisition is to merge the corporate legal functions of the two previous companies into a single, cost-effective service.  This is even more difficult when two well-established law departments must merge.

Poor integration of the legal functions of the previous companies can cause hoped-for economies of scale to evaporate and legal costs to increase.  The professional talent that you will need most of all in the new organization can also be the same ones who are most vulnerable to a better offer somewhere else.

Walker Clark can help your law department plan and implement the best way forward for the new organization before, during, and after the merger.  As soon as the deal is announced, contact us.   We can usually have one of our senior law department advisors at your office and starting to work with you within 48 hours.
