A Message From the Editor

Good Morning. Today the Global 200 features our ranking of the largest firms in the Asia Pacific by head count and a story about APAC firms' focus on scale even in a down market. Also, we explain how Latin American lawyers are caught in the crosshairs as China and the West vie for valuable lithium resources. Plus, Canadian law firms get in on the action as telecom giant Rogers Communications takes majority ownership of most of Toronto’s professional sports teams and venues,s including the Toronto Maple Leafs and Scotiabank Arena.
