White & Case LLP is a great fit to large corporations undertaking mid-to-large or strategic transactions in France or overseas thanks to strong complementary international capabilities. The firm is particularly retained by leading French banks and financial institutions undertaking M&A deals, while large industrial and manufacturing companies also turn to the firm for infrastructure deals, carve out and partnership projects. The team provides a good coverage of M&A transactions which also extends to public M&A, squeeze-out transactions as well as private equity deals. The duo, made up of Marc Petitier and Hugues Mathez, co-head the practice. Also involved is Guillaume Vallat.
