Pepper Hamilton won't provide more details of its expansion into Boston until next month, McCusker said.
The firm had been talking with Nixon Peabody LLP about a possible merger, but failed to reach an agreement, according to The Legal Intelligencer.Neither firm would confirm those talks.
One reason for the firm's move to Boston is to be closer to one of its larger clients, the private equity firm Advent International Corp., whose North America headquarters is based here.It also wants to be closer to other private equity firms and life sciences companies, McCusker said.
