A Message From the Editor

Good morning. We're covering the French legal market, which law firm leaders anticipate will do well in 2025 despite the country's political turmoil. We're also looking at the market in Canada, where money appears to be the primary motivator for law firm associates. And we tell you about an investigation launched by Herbert Smith Freehills after one of its partners in Australia sent a "deeply offensive" tweet directed at a Jewish lawyer at another firm.
