A Message From the Editor

Good morning. Baker McKenzie has hired the bulk of a U.S. firm's corporate department. Also, a long-simmering case against Chiquita International is finally nearing trial. And Big Four law firm Deloitte Legal says it plans to remain in Hong Kong, where two of its competitors have shuttered their operations, and also will expand in Australia.
