A Message From the Editor

Good Morning. Today we examine the post-merger integration of A&O Shearman, which is now following the imperfect trajectory of other big law firm mergers. The Global Lawyer also looks at how the industry as a whole is filled with uncertainty, confronted by mergers, office closures and war, and how it should reflect on the changes it has made and will make in the coming year. And if you want to read more about what's broken in the industry, read our amusing op-ed about how even legal conferences have seen better days.
