A Message From the Editor

Good morning. We've been looking at the 2024 financials of large U.S.-based firms. Today we let you know how Gibson Dunn, Simpson Thacher, Mayer Brown and Perkins Coie performed. Also, Kirkland & Ellis has quietly changed its website in the U.K. to bury mandated diversity data at a time when U.S. President Donald Trump has been attacking DEI policies. And while Paul Weiss has been loudly criticized for negotiating with Trump after being hit with an executive order, Law.com International Editor-in-Chief Paul Hodkinson argues that others should be scrutinized and several assumptions should at least be questioned.
