A Message From the Editor

In the post-pandemic hybrid work environment, real estate is proving to be a sticky issue. Our first story today explores how many Big Law firms are struggling with the legacies of a large real estate footprint, despite the changing work environment. Also, we have a look at how a recent U.S. Supreme Court bankruptcy ruling may jeopardize Eckert Seaman's proposed $45M settlement in connection with the Par Funding scandal.

Thanks for reading!

– Max Mitchell, Regional Managing Editor
