Law - It is now officially Faegre Baker Daniels, as of 1/1/12
Updating earlier ILB entries on the Baker & Daniels and Faegre & Benson merger plans, David Lat of Above the Law reports today in an entry headed "Law Firm Merger Mania: Faegre & Benson and Baker & Daniels Make It Official ." Most interesting to me was this:
The merger will take effect on January 1, 2012, and the new entity will be known as Faegre Baker Daniels. The website will be located at faegrebd.com (which right now is occupied by a GoDaddy.com placeholder page).Later the entry quotes "a source at Faegre":
The joke around here seems to be the word “combination” — they don’t want to call it a merger, but Faegre is the one doing all of the technology unification (apparently BD has no infrastructure they care for themselves) and project management to make sure everything is completed. In my opinion, it’s a merger and we’re running the show.Whois records show the domain name FAEGREBD.COM was registered through GoDaddy.com on June 2, 2011. The earliest news on a proposed merger was August 12th, according to ILB records.
