A Message From the Editor

“The legal industry has never been more dynamic,” says the managing partner of Fried Frank in our round-up of what U.S. law firm leaders made of 2024. Paul Weiss, one of the most dynamic firms itself, has also highlighted how it expects to look quite different in a few years' time. Meanwhile, a litigation funder spots big opportunities in UAE construction disputes.
