Simmons, A.

The urge to merge: practical pitfalls - 1989 - Law Society`s Gazette 86(3) 18 January 1989, 29-33(2) .

Examines the problems which may arise after a merger between two firms. Though aimed at solicitors , the principles apply equally well to any professional business. Highlights difficulties which may arise in relation to differences in accounting procedure and relocation . Stresses the importance of looking after the interests of the staff by keeping them informed. Concludes with a section on management , which in the author`s opinion, causes the gravest concern of all in a merger situation.
