A Message From the Editor

Good morning. We are following what European lawyers are saying about the retaliatory tariffs announced by the EU on U.S. imports. Also, Ropes & Gray has launched an office in Paris with 11 Clifford Chance lawyers. In London, equity capital markets lawyers are busy with IPOs happening across Continental Europe. And a U.S. judge has temporarily blocked the enforcement of President Trump's order targeting Perkins Coie.

– Lisa Shuchman, Executive Editor
