A Message From the Editor

Good Morning. We continue to follow A&O Shearman's post-merger changes, including the adoption of a 3-tier lockstep pay structure and its shift to an all-equity partnership. We're also looking at changes at King & Wood Mallesons, where the firm's global managing partner is stepping down. And we interview the new chair of Canada's Stikeman Elliot, who discusses challenges and opportunities related to international growth, talent recruitment and retention, compensation, artificial intelligence and more.

– Lisa Shuchman, Executive Editor, Law.com International
