For many Global 100 firms, the past year has exposed how complex and risk-laden managing an international law firm has become. Firm leaders have been forced to manage against a downturn in commodity markets, turmoil in foreign exchange markets and slow growth in many of the world’s key economies. Moreover, the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union has put at risk decades’ worth of investment in London by global firms.

In China, firms are taking divergent paths. Some are exiting, while others are investing in local expertise.
