A Message From the Editor

Good Morning. Today is inauguration day in the U.S., but it is also a federal holiday -- the day the country pauses to honor Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. It is a coincidence that Dr. King's birthday and Trump's swearing-in coincide this year but both men, who couldn't be more different, represent consequential change. Today we're covering how lawyers in Mexico and Canada are responding to Trump's threats of high tariffs on exports. We're also looking at Milbank's latest partner promotions. And we tell you about another U.S. firm that is closing an office in China.

– Lisa Shuchman, Executive Editor
