A Message From the Editor

Good Morning. Today we're covering U.S.-based Cozen O'Connor, which appears to be making good on its promise to become a major full-service firm in Canada as it expands with a 13-lawyer team in Vancouver. We're also watching Morrison & Foerster, which lost four partners in Asia this week -- in Singapore and in Greater China. And the Asia Legal Briefing looks at the continued demise of international firms in Asia -- and it's not just market conditions that are to blame.
