A Message From the Editor

Good morning. Today we look at Big Law's role in perpetuating child labor around the world. We also have a story involving three Kennedys partners affiliated with the firm's Latin America practice who have been accused by the Florida Bar of practicing without a state license. Meanwhile, there have been a lot of deals in Asia recently, but in Hong Kong they are bringing only small streams of work.
