A Message From the Editor

Deals may be coming back, but law firms may want to hold off on putting all their eggs in the transactional basket. We also are covering a controversial move by Latham & Watkins to block its Hong Kong lawyers' access to foreign files. And we look at whether Ireland is still a "business-friendly" locale when it comes to data privacy. To our readers in the U.S., we wish you a Happy Presidents Day!

– Lisa Shuchman, Executive Editor, Law.com International
