A Message From the Editor Good morning. Plenty of lawyers wonder what they would do if they left Big Law. Linda Thompson writes an interesting story about a Brussels-based Freshfields lawyer who is usng his legal skills to help refugees. We also have a story about all the work German lawyers are getting amid Trump's tariff threats, China tensions, and EU sanctions. In the U.S., the prominent litigators who left Paul Weiss in the wake of the firm's deal with President Trump have officially launched their firm with 26 lawyers - and counting. And check out Habiba Cullen-Jafar's piece that ranks advisers to U.S. private equity firms in Europe. Spoiler alert: Kirkland and Freshfields are on top. – Lisa Shuchman, Executive Editor |
