On July 22, The Hague's Permanent Court of Arbitration issued its ruling in the historic arbitration between the government of Sudan and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement, which represents the tribes of southern Sudan.

At many companies, the prevailing mindset is: the bigger the firm, the better the representation.
