White & Case LLP houses a strong team that was further enhanced with the arrival of all rounded litigator Kami Haeri  from Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP in January 2024. Under the leadership of the excellent  Diane Lamarche, the team acts for leading financial institutions, investment funds and some publicly listed companies and executives, which it regularly defends in AMF’s stock-market breach investigations as well as in the context of shareholders’ activism campaigns and debt restructuring of listed companies. The practice also provides guidance to listed companies on governance issues. Félix Thillaye , who was promoted to partner in 2024, also contributes.
