A Message From the Editor

Today we're covering Big Law's focus on Europe, including Goodwin's plan to launch an office in Brussels and the gain in European M&A market share by Latham & Watkins; Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom; Kirkland & Ellis; and White & Case. Also, the International Bar Association has a new president. And we're examining moves by MoFo, which has hired its second Asia partner in a week. Read these stories and more, below.
