Comment: The current article already covers the merged name which is recent and will probably be the name later going forward. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 18:08, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: Press releases are not reliable sources and standard announcements such as mergers do not convey notability. The The Law article is solid but only the firm is only mentioned briefly The Reuters article relies too heavily on what the firm says about itself so fine to use for establishing a fact but not usable for notability. Please see the notability guidelines for organizations. S0091 (talk) 21:05, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
