Law firm with Hub office plans merger

Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge LLP, a US law firm with offices in Boston, said today it plans to merge with Kendall Freeman of London, effective January 1.

The merger will "significantly enhance" the capabilities of the firms' insurance and reinsurance practices and provide "an international platform to serve clients on both sides of the Atlantic," the firms said in a press release.

The combined firm will have more than 600 attorneys and solicitors practicing in 11 offices, the firms said.
