A Message From the Editor

Good morning. Today is launch day for A&O Shearman, which is now officially one of the world's largest legal institutions. We are bringing you lots of news about the combined firm, including information about its leadership, practice structure, and compensation system. Also, we are covering Mayer Brown's decision to break away from its Greater China offices, where it has about 170 lawyers across Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shanghai.
