A Message From the Editor

Good morning. Today we're looking at Addleshaw Goddard, which officially took over an 80-lawyer, nine-partner Warsaw office from Linklaters. Our second story about the Luxembourg market looks at the Big Law firms that have launched in recent years, and describes why some have not thrived. And in the U.S., we explain why the amicus brief signed by more than 1,100 law school students supporting Susman Godfrey's suit against the Trump administration could spell trouble for firms making deals with Trump.

– Lisa Shuchman, Executive Editor
