A Message From the Editor

Good Morning! It's Pride Month, but Molly Smith writes that you'd never know it from the way Big Law is behaving. Meanwhile, Asia Editor Jessica Seah has done a deep dive on partner promotions in Asia, showing that they have dropped steadily in China but continue in other parts of Asia. Also, Chris Niesche and Jessica broke the story about Norton Rose merging its Australian and EMEA financial operations. And Chris also wrote about Clifford Chance's growth strategy in Australia. In the U.S., the Supreme Court has thrown out a lawsuit brought by Mexico against gunmakers. And Law.com International is happy to share news of its recent journalism awards.

– Lisa Shuchman, Executive Editor
