According to Altman Weil MergerLine, how many law firm mergers were announced in the first half of 2018?

Hint: The number and the size of law firm mergers has been notable in 2018. “We’ve gotten used to the constant drumbeat of law firm combinations, but what’s new is the size of some firms being acquired,” Altman Weil principal Eric Seeger said in a statement. “Already this year, four U.S. law firms, each with over a hundred lawyers, have traded their independence for the security and heft of a larger platform. That says a lot about the intensity of market competition in 2018.”
