LAW firms DWF and Cobbetts have called off merger talks.
Liverpool business law firm DWF and Manchester-based Cobbetts confirmed earlier this months that they had started discussions about joining forces.
But in a statement today, they said: “The preliminary discussions between DWF and Cobbetts regarding a potential merger have now come to a conclusion and we have made the decision not to progress these talks any further due to the current uncertainty in market conditions.
“Growth by merger and lateral hires continues to be an option for both firms but until any discussions are brought to a conclusion, we will not be in a position to talk about them publicly.”
