Morning Update

A Message From the Editor

Good Morning. Today we tell you about a study finding that pandemic-era mental health issues are still plaguing lawyers who completed law school in 2020 -- a red flag worthy of the legal industry's attention. We also tell you which firms among the UK Top 50 grew their revenue most in the last 10 years. And an A&O partner has resigned after he was convicted of drunk driving.
