Morning Update

A Message From the Editor

Good morning. Brussels appears to be getting a lot of attention from international law firms as regulatory and antitrust issues complicate deals. Also, the Q1 M&A League Tables are out and we tell you who ranked highest. And in Asia we've seen a lot of lateral movement, while U.S. national security concerns have prompted some international firms to terminate their lobbying relationships with Chinese companies.
