A Message From the Editor

Good morning. Habiba Cullen-Jafar has a story with a chart showing that U.S.-based firms are dominating U.K. revenue per lawyer rankings. Gail Cohen writes about a Bennett Jones team that has won the largest commercial damages award in Canadian history. She also talks to the new chair of Miller Thomson, who has grand plans for the Canadian firm. And Rick Mitchell writes about some top partners in Paris who have left the recently merged firm Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer. And there's a lot more. Plus, the new Law.com experience is here! We are excited to bring a new orientation of our site that better surfaces more of our content from across the entire Law.com platform while also integrating tools such as Law.com Radar and Law.com Compass. A brief onboarding process will allow you to personalize the site to your interests. We hope you enjoy the new experience!
