The chief benefit of the merger of Dew ey Ballantine and LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene & MacRae may have been a shorter name. The deal, in 2007, created Dewey & LeBoeuf, the world's 23rd-biggest law firm by revenue. The new firm was ambitious. But according to the American Lawyer, a magazine and compiler of legal league tables, revenue for 2010 turned out to be $76om, $i50m less than first thought; last year's sum, $782m, was not much better. Dewey has lost 70 of its partners-more than a fifth of the total-and more keep jumping ship. It is said to be considering a "prepackaged" bankruptcy and a merger with another firm,Greenberg Traurg.
