A Message From the Editor

Good Morning! Linklaters appears to be focusing on the U.S. market, appointing a corporate leader to fill the new role of Chair of the Americas. Also, Kasvi Sehgal looks at what the liberalization of the Indian market means for the country's talent market. Meanwhile, Jessica Seah writes that the Asia market is huge and disparate and examines whether Big Law's Asia strategies will always be doomed to fail, while Linda Thompson reviews the DMA and DSA litigation being argued by Big Law on behalf of Big Tech. And Dario Sabagi has a story about the trailblazing firms shaping Iraq's legal market.
