White & Case LLP 'puts in the work and resources required to find solutions and get the job done'. Sought after by financial institutions, corporates, governments and supranational organisations for advice on debt matters across developed and emerging markets, the firm is adept in the full spectrum of DCM deals, including standalone and MTN programmes, sovereign bonds, investment grade issuance, bank regulatory capital and corporate hybrids, private placements, project and green bonds, liability management, equity-linked instruments and more. Melissa Butler (who is 'a people person who pays close attention to her clients') and Ian Clark are the standout US-qualified partners in London. Butler recently assisted a leading hydro power operator with its €300m notes offering. On the English law side, Stuart Matty (who is 'honest and forthright, willing to go the extra mile for his clients') and Richard Pogrel are the most prominent practitioners, though the firm has a deep bench of talent that includes partner Neha Saran and counsel James Clarke.

‘Always accessible, very pragmatic and coming back with solutions often, innovative, not worried about going off-piste if needed.’
‘They put in the work and resources required to find solutions and get the job done. They are responsive and understand the issues from commercial perspective. They are also very reasonable in billing and working with the timelines of the client.'
‘Out of all the firms in the space, White & Case is probably the one that most closely aligns with the areas we like to focus on - particularly niche emerging market DCM/crossover high yield deals in emerging markets. The team has tremendous experience and capability in this area, in addition to restructuring work, a solid investment grade practice and a good network of local offices.’
‘Melissa Butler - a people person who pays close attention to her clients and makes sure the right people are working on the right deals. Calm and steady presence who gives timely advice from a position of great authority. Stuart Matty - engaging, commercially minded partner who brings a wealth of experience to complex deals in complicated jurisdictions. Honest and forthright, willing to go the extra mile for his clients. Hashim Eltumi - rising star associate with a very reassuring manner. Jack Adachi and Anu Alamutu - ones to watch over the coming years.’
‘Very reliable, conversant with what's happening in the industry.’
‘Availability anytime and willing to go the extra mile beyond their scope.’
‘The team was great to work with. Issues were identified and comments were turned around quickly and efficiently. Advice provided was commercial and highlighted the key points without nitpicking irrelevant issues, while still paying attention to the detail. We don't have lot of experience in the UK market and we felt we were in good hands. Billing was appropriate for the advice provided.’
