Howrey + Day Casebeer Merger Is Final

Home, Law Firms

Howrey, which we reported a little over a week ago was in talks to acquire scandal-plagued intellectual property firm Day Casebeer, has announced that the merger is official.

Twenty-five of the 26 attorneys at Day Casebeer joined Howrey’s Palo Alto, California office, effective this week.

The partners include James Batchelder, Linda Sasaki-Baxley, Renee Dubord Brown, Lloyd Day Jr., Robert Galvin, Paul Grewal, Jonathan Loeb, Jackie Nakamura and William Nelson (no, not that Willie Nelson). They bring along 16 associates.

The acquisition of Day Casebeer will give Howrey 115 lawyers in San Francisco and Palo Alto.

Howrey LLP was founded as Howrey, Simon, Baker, & Murchison in 1956, and was the first national anti-trust law firm. It has more than 725 attorneys in 17 locations worldwide.

BCG Job of the Day

Texas - Houston

Description:
Houston office seeks counsel with 3+ years of experience. The candidate will join labor and employment section. Should have experience with depositions, hearings, and trials.
"Here is a firm with an illustrious past and a history of strong growth in virtually every United States market it is a part of. This firm is very strong in the litigation and corporate areas and is rapidly emerging as a preeminent intellectual property firm as well. This firm\'s illustrious history is backed up in the present day and continues because many of the leading political figures of our time have been associated with this firm at some point in their careers. Additionally, one thing which is notable about this firm is that while it continues to expand both within Texas and throughout the United States at a rapid pace, there has been limited attrition in this firm over the past several years, and its attrition rate is far below that of other national firms. As the firm has become more popular recently, it has become increasingly concerned with recruiting primarily from Top 10 law schools; however, outstanding students from less ranked schools still stand a good chance of being considered seriously by this firm. Because this firm has been traditionally strongest in litigation, the firm appears to put a strong emphasis on hiring attorneys who would be good courtroom attorneys and have personalities that have the abilities to influence juries. For the most part, attorneys at this firm believe that the other attorneys within the firm are fun to be around. One thing that attorneys at this firm also note is that--notwithstanding a candidate\'s qualifications--this firm is highly selective and often interviews several candidates for its open positions. The firm draws from top national law schools. The firm does an excellent job or rewarding its associates with a very generous merit-based bonus system."
