A Message From the Editor

Good Morning. Today we're looking at the 2024 financials of BCLP, which posted modest revenue growth and did well in the U.K. We're also looking at the impact that President Trump's pause on enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act will have on Latin America. Freshfields has launched another U.S. office — this one in Boston. And the new chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, used to work in Big Law.

– Lisa Shuchman, Executive Editor
