A Message From the Editor

Good Morning. We're covering the rankings for M&A in Europe for the first half of 2024. Also, we're looking at how Venezuela is close to losing Citgo Petroleum, although a U.S. Court judge has postponed a hearing to determine the winning bid until September. And in the U.K., the number of female partners at major law firms continues to lag behind the number of male partners, despite widespread diversity efforts, Law.com International data shows.
