A Message From the Editor

In case you missed any of our coverage, it's been another busy week for international legal news. Beijing bid farewell to two more U.S. law firms, including one that had been there for more than 40 years, as the number of firms shuttering offices in Greater China keeps growing. We also brought you our inaugural ranking of the largest law firms in Latin America and the Caribbean, and we published the U.K. A-List, noting the best law firms to work for in the U.K. There's plenty more news below. Enjoy your weekend!
