A deadly terrorist attack has touched the international legal community for a second time in two weeks, signaling the brutal extent of the recent attacks in Paris and Bamako, Mali.

Energy and mining partner Pierre Boivin of the Canadian firm McCarthy Tétrault was among the hostages who survived Friday’s hotel attack in Bamako, a spokesperson for the firm has confirmed. Only a week before, Hogan Lovells associate Valentin Ribet was killed in the terrorist assault on Paris that left 127 people dead.
