A Message From the Editor

Good Morning. We're looking at what the EU's competition rules might look like as the bloc embraces industrial policy. Also, we're covering large Chinese law firms that are hiring partners from Big Law as more Western firms downsize in Greater China. And Kirkland, Pinsent Masons, and Simmons & Simmons are boosting their Middle East practices with key hires.

– Lisa Shuchman, Executive Editor
