If you're merging, be prepared to deal with both their active and
inactive files.
On the conflict-of-interest front, conflicts would ideally all be
cleared to everybody's satisfaction before the merger. But you will
probably experience turbulence for several months until the attorneys
get comfortable working together and make the necessary compromises.
Hidden conflicts or possible conflicts will work their way to the
surface. New business may have to be turned away because of conflicts
that people at the time of the merger were not aware of or did not
consider or chose to ignore.
Depending on how centralized your operation is now, you will need to
think through what services you will provide versus what they handle on
their own. It's not all bad--you will learn new things and meet new
people. Good luck.

Subject: Law Offices in Multiple Cities
Hello,
I have heard rumors my law firm will be opening another law firm in a
city in another state. If so, we would have office in both Boston, MA
and New York, NY. However, I don't think feedback has been asked about
how this would affect the Records Management aspect of my firm. Can
anyone tell me how opening another law firm in another city affects
Records Management for the firm as a whole for both offices?
Thank you
Irene
