Morning Update

A Message From the Editor

Good Morning. TikTok may soon be banned in the U.S. as an appellate court has upheld a law forcing the video-sharing app to either be sold or shut down in the United States. Also, Cleary and White & Case are involved in a showdown in New York over a $5 billion Brazilian bankruptcy. And The Global Lawyer writes that in today's cutthroat market, law firms need a business case to justify international offices.
