White & Case LLP climbs the ranking having rebuilt its practice with significant hires. The arrival of Anthony Tama from Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP in early 2024 marks a step up in the firm's ability to assist global investment banking firms, commercial banks and public and private corporations with high yield debt issuance. Tama joins practice head James Greene, who is 'one of the smartest guys in the market', and 'smart, focused and client-centric' US-qualified partner Monica Holden, who 'always delivers a polished work product'. Newly promoted partner Anna Soroka is experienced in securities and corporate finance transactions, primarily related to high yield bonds and leveraged finance transactions.
