Coudert Brothers to disband

The partners at Coudert Brothers, a firm with a long history in China practice -- firsts are always difficult to measure, but it was certainly one of the first foreign firms with a Beijing office in the post-Mao era -- have voted to disband the firm. It's sad to see the end of this institution, but the people readers of this blog are most likely to know -- those in the China practice -- are likely to land on their feet.
