White & Case LLP

Demonstrating a strong balance of issuer-side and underwriter-side activity, White & Case LLP is prolific in senior secured note issuance, especially those involving initial purchasers. Gary Kashar, the firm’s regional section head of Americas capital markets, leads a group whose operations are not limited to a regional presence, but a national and global presence due to its large network. Kashar is well supported by Jonathan Michels, Rafael Roberti and Andrew Weisberg, other key lawyers in the group who regularly handle high-yield debt offerings, structured debt financings and liability management transactions, belying the major strengths of the practice at large, as well as its forte in repayments and refinancing mandates. With financial services companies such as investment banks among a varied client roster, the group acts for such companies investing in a range of sectors, notable the energy sector. All named practitioners are based in New York.
