A Message From the Editor

Good Morning! We had another week filled with global legal news, ranging from a look at which law firms advise the biggest PE clients in the UK and Europe, to a story about a team of big-name litigators leaving Paul Weiss in the wake of the deal it struck with President Trump. Also, CMS formalized its India ambitions by entering an alliance with Indus Law, and Taylor Wessing is launching an office in Shenzhen but shuttering in Beijing. Plus, the Trump tariffs were briefly blocked by a U.S. court but have been reinstated while an appeal is pending. Check out these stories and more below. And have a nice weekend!
