The Financial Times has expanded its influential Lex column, filling
half of the back page of the main section of the paper. The Lex team
has been increased to nine writers – five based in London, three in New
York and one in Tokyo.
Carrying more global Lex notes every day, the column, edited by Dan Bogler, now sports a “Number in the News”
graphic, highlighting an eye-catching Lex statistic.
