Today's video story: Russia apparently has information of a potential incident similar to the alleged chemical attack in Idlib province, possibly targeting a Damascus suburb, President Vladimir Putin said. The goal is to discredit the government of Syrian President Assad, he added.


Focus of the day story:  Many senior partners lack all but a “basic knowledge” of their clients’ businesses, leading to “superficial” interactions and a “disconnect between law firms and their clients”, a report has found. Further, in-house counsel are now looking at alternative providers and also smaller firms that offer greater flexibility – as well as bringing more work in-house. Full story - Legal Futures
