A Message From the Editor Good morning. Private equity firms are finding law firms very attractive investments. We look at Australia to tell you why. Also, Canada's McCarthy Tétrault has lost three Black partners this year, including the chief legal officer. But her replacement, a longtime partner who is openly gay, says McCarthy remains committed to inclusion. And Paul Weiss, which was a Trump target earlier this year before it struck a deal with the administration, is losing prominent litigation partner Jeh Johnson, who headed the Department of Homeland Security in the Obama administration. Johnson is leaving the firm to serve as co-chair of the board of trustees at Columbia University, another Trump target. – Lisa Shuchman, Executive Editor |
