A Message From the Editor

Good Morning. Kirkland, Weil, and CMS are playing leading roles on private equity giant Advent International’s €3.9 billion sale of German software-as-a-service company Aareon -- one of a rush of deals that are keeping firms with large transactional practices busy. Also, Microsoft has been charged with violating the EU's antitrust laws -- the first time the company has faced such allegations in 10 years. And China's Grandall Law Firm has broken into the Malaysia legal market via a tie-up with local practice and has also launched an office in Madrid as it looks to grow in Spain.
