This is the final issue of RE:, a magazine for everyone in Norton Rose Fulbright around the world and for our friends. Over the past decade many wonderful writers, photographers and artists in the firm have contributed to RE. And many wonderful people have delighted in it and read its pagesand by so doing have helped to shape our culture. RE was set up to do this, to bind us to each other and to keep us always looking out, not in. We have shared our most excellent curiosity about the world we live in and now, in issue 21, we wish to share the stories of our lives, or fragments thereof. We are lesser people without each other.

It is hard to say goodbye, and impossible without saying thank you. To Robbie Pattemore, Ivan Maslarov, Clement Lehembre, Thando Buthelezi, and other great creative (and technical) artists. To Laura Shumiloff, who kept a cool, brilliant, watchful eye on RE through every issue—who did far more than you could ever know. Finally, to my writers.

It has been such a pleasure.
