A Message From the Editor

Good morning. Economic volatility in the U.S. economy may be reviving the Hong Kong IPO market. We tell you which firms may benefit. Also, we take a look at how Sullivan & Cromwell's managing partner ended up involved in the Paul Weiss-Trump negotiation. We also examine the lateral market in Australia, which is seeing an increase in lateral movement by partners unhappy that star rainmakers are being paid outsized salaries. And in India, geopolitics is driving law firms to boost their trade law capabilities.

– Lisa Shuchman, Executive Editor
