Virginia-based Williams Mullen is planning a merger with 53-lawyer North Carolina firm Maupin Taylor. The merger will allow Williams Mullen to expand its regulatory and cross-border transaction work. The new firm will keep the name Williams Mullen, although North Carolina offices will use the name Williams Mullen Maupin Taylor during a transition period. The D.C. and Tysons Corner, Va., offices are not hiring attorneys immediately, but new hires are likely in the next few years.
