A Message From the Editor

Good Morning. Today we look at what the Citi-Apollo partnership means for law firms. Also, we examine a new economic crimes law in Chile that has companies worried and is giving law firms more work. And in Hong Kong, another foreign judge -- the fifth this year --- has stepped down from the top court.
