Ambitious Global Firms Must Have Roots In These Cities
Law360's Global 20 firms may call the world their home, but they all agree that there are some places everyone needs to have a little pied-a-terre in order to be taken seriously.

The Global Hot Spots Of 2015
Singapore, France and the United Arab Emirates are just a few of the major growth areas for international law firms in 2015, with firms looking to boost their attorney counts in those countries thanks in part to a rise in international arbitration, cross-border deals and energy developments in Southeast Asia.
