A Message From the Editor

Good Morning. Australian lawyers now have the "right to disconnect" after hours, although in the legal world, no one is sure what that means! Also, we take a look at whether Germany is on the brink of third-party ownership of law firms, and what that might mean for the country's legal sector. And we bring you a book review of "Jaded," a novel written by a former London lawyer that lays bare the power dynamics that gave rise to the industry's most devastating scandals. Thanks for reading.
