- The practice's reputation is built on specific partners and associates who balance extreme technical skill with a high degree of personal accountability. I was honestly impressed by Evgeny Scirtò Ostrovski, who is usually praised for his commercial mindset, but I must say he boasts outstanding knowledge of high-yield products.
- Technical expertise; responsiveness (second to none); client handling skills; encyclopedic knowledge of the documents; structural creativity; speed with which the issues are grasped and resolved; total command of the commercial situation.
- The White & Case team is a very strong team, able to cover multiple jurisdictions and provide very technical, client-oriented advice.
- The team is very responsive throughout the deal process, turning documentation promptly and flagging issues early. There is good collaboration and coordination between partners and associates, and the team handles the demands of high-yield transactions competently and smoothly.
