A Message From the Editor

The merger mania we saw earlier this year is continuing unabated, and Pennsylvania has not been immune. In our first item today, we have a look at what might be behind the recent spate of mergers. Also, we have a look at how law firms with active cannabis practices, such as Duane Morris and Blank Rome, are looking to capitalize on the federal government's reported push to reclassify marijuana to Schedule III.

Thanks for reading!

– Max Mitchell, Regional Managing Editor
