A Message From the Editor

Good Morning. We're covering news that international firm Dechert plans to close three offices by the end of the year: two in Greater China, in Beijing and Hong Kong, and one in the U.S., in Chicago. Also, we're following Proskauer's expansion in London, with the firm having brought on partners from A&O Shearman and Cahill. And in Europe, three law firms in Switzerland have merged, hoping to seize opportunity in a market where global law firms are largely absent.
