A Message From the Editor

Good Morning. Today we're asking whether the EU can sustain its power and influence as the world's top antitrust regulator. We also examine a possible rebound in the Hong Kong IPO market, which is giving capital markets lawyers some hope—even though the main players are not from Big Law. In the U.K., the work-from-home era for lawyers may be fading. And the Trump administration's freeze on foreign aid is now directly hitting the legal industry around the world.

– Lisa Shuchman, Executive Editor
