A Message From the Editor

Good Morning. Germany may be experiencing an economic downturn, but its legal sector is doing just fine -- with law firm revenue generally up, thanks largely to M&A activity. In Singapore, meanwhile, increased political polarization around the world has contributed to growth in the city-state's dispute resolution services. And in the U.S., a dispute between Google and Russian media outlets is playing out in a California court.
