Both firms' leaders express confidence in a smooth outcome as they move forward with plans.
"We're just, you know, taxiing down the runway. So much to do. We're gonna try to build the plane while we're flying in, and we will never let this affect our client service."
The merged firm would have more than 1,650 lawyers and a combined revenue of more than $2.8 billion, likely landing it in the Am Law Top 20.
