Mergers are becoming increasingly more common as a resolution for the succession-planning quandary at plaintiffs firms, which don’t regularly restock their ranks in the same fashion as the corporate law firms they face off against in the courtroom. Case in point: three sets of personal injury firms in Pennsylvania announced mergers going into effect at the start of 2024.
In December 2023, McLaughlin & Lauricella announced it would close its doors to join Feldman Shepherd Wohlgelernter Tanner Weinstock Dodig, while in January Anapol Weiss announced it had acquired Golomb Legal and Gay & Chacker went public with a merger with Ginsburg & Associates.
