Pittsburgh-based Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney and Tampa-based Fowler White Boggs are deep in merger talks, according to top management at both firms.
“Florida is a growth state and an important market for our firm and more importantly our clients,” Buchanan CEO John A. “Jack” Barbour said in a statement. “Fowler White enjoys a stellar reputation in Florida, and we have discussed with them how a combination would enhance both firms’ capabilities to service clients and further each of our strategic objectives. Discussions are ongoing, so it would be premature for me to speculate on the outcome.”
