A Message From the Editor A global firm is mourning the death of its chair as news spread this week that Paul Rawlinson, head of Baker McKenzie, died April 12. Rawlinson, known for a caring demeanor, love of the piano and innovative spirit, also spoke publicly about his bout last year with exhaustion and the effects of running a global law firm. In our lead item, his partners and colleagues remember his legacy. We also look at why global firms are bulking up with regulatory enforcement lawyers in Hong Kong when enforcement in the region is down. And we learn of Linklaters' plans for a new legal ops head and moving more work to lower-cost centers.
