A Message From the Editor

Good morning. Cuatrecasas is the latest firm to shutter its office in Beijing, although the Spanish firm will continue to have a presence in China with its office in Shanghai. Meanwhile, in Mexico FisherBroyles has added another partner to its relatively young office, continuing its expansion in Latin America. In the U.S., pay gaps at the highest-grossing law firms are increasing. And Abigail Adcox writes that Big Law is playing a game of Whac-a-Mole as it tries to keep up with the Trump Administration's attack on DEI and language.
