Morning Update

A Message From the Editor

Good morning. Winston & Strawn is planning to shutter its 15-year-old Hong Kong office, joining other firms that have closed their offices in Asia amid a slow transactional market and political tensions in recent years. We're also covering accusations that a university in London has failed to protect Jewish students amid a rise in antisemitism. And Meta gets hit with a €550 million lawsuit filed by Spanish media.
