A Message From the Editor

Good Morning. We've been writing about all the law firm cuts in China. But today the Asia Legal Briefing looks at what's left of the China market and asks where can all those laid-off lawyers go. Also, a big trial is taking place in London that seeks reparations from mining company BHP for a deadly disaster in Brazil. And in India, a surge in IPOs is keeping lawyers busy but there are drawbacks: law firms are struggling to keep up.
