Discussion of a Mayer Brown-Heller merger began days after Heller's talks with Baker & McKenzie ended. Heller has been faced with major partner defections.

"Heller is a fine firm with outstanding lawyers," Mayer Brown said. "Like us, they have a long heritage of excellence in their work and service to clients. A merger with them would have offered potential benefits for both firms and our clients." Mayer said that client and practice conflicts could not be resolved.
