A Message From the Editor

Good morning. The partner shuffle continues, as Davis Polk hires Paul Hastings' co-head of global finance in London and Paul Hastings grabs a partner-led restructuring team from DLA Piper in Paris. Also, Asia Editor Jessica Seah writes in the Asia Legal Briefing about Mayer Brown's divorce in Greater China. And corporate accountability is on trial in lawsuits filed in the U.S. and U.K. over environmental and financial activities in the Middle East.
