A Message From the Editor

Good morning. Now that A&O Shearman has launched, how will we know whether the merger is working? Law.com International's Paul Hodkinson tells us what to look for. Meanwhile, lawyers have made their opening statements in a trial that could put Chiquita International on the hook for damages to families of victims killed in Colombia by a terrorist group hired by the company. And in the U.S., Simpson Thacher plans to open an office in Boston.
