A Message From the Editor

Good morning. The week's news has been dominated by U.S. President Donald Trump's executive orders against law firms. Two major firms have now reached a deal with the President, while several firms have gone to court to block his orders. But there has been other news, including law firm partner promotions, another firm pulling out of China and Musk's X suing the government of India. For even more international news, please go to our website.
