White & Case LLP‘s technology transactions team is active on outsourcing deals including master service agreements, licensing agreements and commercial collaborations. The practice also provides input on corporate transactions involving outsourcing vendors, such as Panasonic’s recent acquisition of supply-chain software provider Blue Yonder. Arlene Hahn is the key name to note in outsourcing with Jost Kotthoff serving as global head of technology transactions.

White & Case LLP is a popular choice with clients who praise the firm’s ‘exceptional customer focus and speed of advice,‘ and its ‘tremendous breadth of knowledge and skills’. Clients come from across a range of sectors including social media, e-commerce, software and hardware manufacturing. The US team works closely with colleagues in key hubs such as Frankfurt, and advises on a range of IP licensing, partnership, outsourcing and supply and distribution agreements. The lawyers also offer critical support on high profile corporate transactions, including M&A and SPAC combinations. A team including highly-rated former partner Daren Orzechowski left to join Allen & Overy LLP in late 2021, but the firm retains several high quality lawyers. Clients ‘unhesitatingly recommend‘ New York partner Arlene Hahn, who has an extremely good track record on IP and technology driven transactions and now heads the global technology transactions and outsourcing practice. Erin Hanson, who handles technology and outsourcing agreements, is praised for her ‘wonderful attention to detail‘.
