A Message From the Editor

Good morning. The chair of Paul Weiss, Brad Karp, knows something about poaching talent. He's done it a lot lately. Speaking on a panel hosted by the International Bar Association, he talked about what law firm leaders can do to make their firms poach-proof. We also are covering a development in the long-running saga related to Dechert and former white-collar head Neil Gerrard -- this time one that involves the FBI. And Australian law firm HWL Ebsworth has rejigged its management following the sudden death of its long-time managing partner and chief executive, deciding to create an entirely new governance structure.

– Lisa Shuchman, Executive Editor, Law.com International
