A Message From the Editor

Good Morning. Today, editor-in-chief Paul Hodkinson contemplates which law firms will end up being a part of the global elite. Also, we tell you of a new report that predicts law firm merger activity will increase in 2025. And we bring you news of a lawsuit filed in Washington, D.C. by Crowell & Moring and the Anti-Defamation League on behalf of more than 125 plaintiffs, alleging that Iran, Syria and North Korea provided material support to Hamas and enabled the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel.

– Lisa Shuchman, Executive Editor, Law.com International
