A Message From the Editor

Good Morning. The first phase of the European Union's AI Act has now officially taken effect but companies have only just begun performing AI assessments, lawyers say. Also, a German Court has ordered social media giant X to release data in light of concerns over election interference. And The Global Lawyer examines the legal industry's intense focus on the Middle East, which has become the hottest market around.
