A Message From the Editor

Good Morning. It's August. If you're relaxing on a beach but still want to know what's happening in the world of law, we have a list of legal podcasts that will keep you informed and maybe even entertained. Also, mining is taking center stage in Canada, where three firms are advising on a $2.16 billion deal with South Africa and the sector is also facing two court challenges. And A&O Shearman has named three co-heads for its post-merger expanded Latin America practice.
