Insurance law specialists Beachcroft and Davies Arnold Cooper are in talks about merging.
In a statement, Beachcroft said a merger was attractive because it would create one of the largest international insurance law firms.
Both firms are in the top 100 UK companies by revenue.
A merger would create a company with revenues of around £170m and 1200 fee earners.
Beachcroft managing partner Paul Murray said: "Our merger discussions with Davies Arnold Cooper are driven by the opportunity to enhance how we work with clients in industry sectors in which both firms specialise, and in particular the insurance sector.
"The combination of Beachcroft's leading volume and UK insurance practice with Davies Arnold Cooper's strong insurance and dispute resolution team in London, Spain and Latin America would create a distinctive, full service offering for our insurer clients."
Davies Arnold Cooper senior partner Danny Gowan said: "In addition to creating a stronger offering to the insurance sector and increased investment internationally, a merger would provide significant advantages to our real estate, corporate and employment teams, which have grown significantly over recent years."
