It appears that this law firm does not meet the requirements for significant and independent coverage at WP:NCOMPANY. They do have some media coverage (including a New York Times article) for a lawsuit directed against themselves, but I propose that this is too fleeting to be considered significant, and it also runs afoul of WP:1E and possibly WP:EXIST. Otherwise this firm has no significant coverage of its operations, and can only be found in typical industry directories. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 20:38, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Winston & Strawn, the clearly notable firm into which this firm merged. Whether Breed, Abbott & Morgan is notable on its own is questionable, but as an acquisition they are noteworthy for mention in another article. BD2412 T 23:01, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As the nominator, I find this merge suggestion to be a good one. If that is the ultimate decision for this AfD, I will complete the merge myself. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:43, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge as suggested. According to past outcomes and my own standards, law firms older than 100 years tend to be notable. Bearian (talk) 20:03, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
