White & Case LLP continues to stand out for offering formidable advice to premier banks and major direct lenders, while also maintaining a strong borrower-side offering for its corporate borrower and middle-market private equity clients. Led by Eliza McDougall from New York, the team frequently advises on leveraged financings and on complexly structured syndicated loans, including advising JP Morgan on a $1.9bn acquisition financing for Clearlake Capital’s portfolio company FINThrive. McDougall co-led on this financing with senior New York partner Eric Leicht, who is also a key contact for direct lending. Specializing in work for borrower clients, Justin Wagstaff, also works from New York and works closely with the firm’s M&A practice to advise on cross-border acquisition financings. The team is also increasingly active in assisting with preferred equity financings; key contacts in this space are Los Angeles-based Christoffer Adler as well as the Boston-based Vincenzo Lucibello, who joined the team alongside Jessica Ball from Proskauer Rose LLP in early 2022. The team underwent further expansion with the arrival of Brett Pallin from Kirkland & Ellis LLP in June 2022 and the hires of Judah Frogel and Rajani Gupta from Allen & Overy LLP in September 2022. Associate Timothy Landwehr has left the firm.
