This has been a year of enormous achievement and momentum for the Firm that included client and pro bono successes too numerous to list; energizing office moves in New York, Beijing, São Paulo and (in a few weeks) Hong Kong; growth in nearly all of our offices; technology upgrades throughout the Firm; and highly successful summer and recruiting programs.
