Ind. Law - "Another Indy law firm acquired in merger"

Tom Spaulding of the Indianapolis Star reports today:

Partners at the law firms Frost Brown Todd LLC and Locke Reynolds LP of Indianapolis approved a merger agreement late Wednesday, according to a published report.

The Business Courier of Cincinnati reported about the merger on its Web site today.

The firm will continue to operate as Frost Brown Todd, with the Locke operations transitioning to that name around Jan. 5.

The merger is the second announced this year in which a major Cincinnati law firm has acquired a large Indianapolis firm. In May, Indianapolis-based Sommer Barnard PC merged into Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP. Sommer Barnard had about 100 lawyers.

See ILB entry here from April 20th for more on the Taft merger.

Here is the Locke Reynolds announcement, dated Dec. 4, on the Frost Brown Todd website.

There have also been reports that the venerable Ice Miller intends to merge with Louisville-based Greenebaum Doll & McDonald, but no announcements as of this writing.
