A Message From the Editor

Today is International Women's Day! To mark the day, we talk to female law firm leaders in Asia, where women have been at the helm of global law firms for decades. We also bring you a story featuring U.K. women rising stars -- women who are likely to spearhead the next generation of leading partners. Also, the debate over the meaning of the thumbs-up emoji in contracts is back. We tell you what was argued in the appeal in Canada.
