A Message From the Editor

Good morning. Ulrike Barth writes about Germany's law firm diversity problem, and Rick Mitchell reports that Linklaters has once again hired away a team from a rival firm in Paris. In the Asia Pacific, Baker McKenzie and Clifford Chance are advising on Singapore's largest REIT IPO in a decade, and Australia is expecting to see a record-breaking surge in class action lawsuits this year. Meanwhile, Taylor Wessing's global revenue rose 10% last year, and its U.K. profit per equity partner has surpassed £1 million.
