- Swati Tripathi has an unparalleled knowledge of the Indian market, with its huge growth potential, and is a sophisticated litigator who is top of her game.’
‘White & Case is notable for the legal pedigree of its associates and partners. Many come with experience from magic circle firms, and bring that quality of analysis typical of those firms to their practice at White & Case. What they also bring is a personal touch and character that can sometimes be lacking elsewhere.’
‘I would particularly highlight Charles Balmain - a highly experienced litigator, Victoria Burton - a Weil émigré, used to dealing with highly pressured disputes, John Rogerson - very experienced in arbitral disputes.’
