Morning Update

A Message From the Editor

Good morning. Today we examine the challenges and opportunities law firm leaders in Asia are facing in 2024. We also talk to law firm leaders in other parts of the world about whether they expect 2024 to be better than last year. And we look at the failure of a $3.6 billion deal involving Chinese technology conglomerate Baidu.
