Studio Legale White & Case
«The development of the studio will be done both through acquisitions of other realities and through the transfer of professionals from our international offices. At White & Case, we have around 50 Italian-speaking professionals, about 20 of whom work in financial markets, banking and mergers and acquisitions,» Immordino comments. He adds that the strategy of focusing on Italy has a strategic objective that goes beyond national borders. A market, the Italian market, from which White & Case had effectively exited at the end of 2008 after a decision by the firm`s headquarters. The return of the shield, made official on July 28, was quiet over the summer, but saw increased credibility and interest when White & Case announced a second lateral weight adjustment for Latham & Watkins following Immordino`s in early August. Case Studies Find out how we deliver results for our clients whitecase.com/law#practices Nicholas Lasagna recently joined the firm`s banking and capital markets department, and Immordino, head of the new Milan office, tells the Sole24Ore.com that the investment in the Italian team is just beginning. The American law firm White in Case is back in Italy, benefiting from the contacts and experience of Michael Immordino, a partner who in recent years accompanied another American law firm, Latham & Case, upon its arrival in Italy. Sectors of activity Learn more about the extent of our experience in the whitecase.com/law#industries industry In the three years that White & Case has not been present in Italy, the market in which international battleships operate has nevertheless changed, and the scars of the crisis on potential volumes of work are visible. The firm`s strategy is therefore to focus on a mainly international clientele in order to be able to support in different jurisdictions through the management of referents between offices. «My role, and that of Nicholas, will be to further strengthen the firm`s already extensive expertise in capital markets and mergers and acquisitions in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
The opening of the Italian office is seen exactly from this angle. We intend to support the firm`s Italian clients through our international network. In addition to the US and `traditional` Europe, the firm has lawyers in Central and Eastern Europe, Turkey, the Middle East and China, offering significant opportunities to our international clients,» says Immordino. As for the reason for the decision to return to this particular historical moment, the lawyer comments that Italy is a fundamental country in Europe and in the world and that having a «flag» on the boot is crucial for a law firm looking for a global presence. «Despite the European crisis, the Italian reality will continue to interest and could also create new opportunities,» concludes the partner.

An essential success factor in local markets is undoubtedly the deep cultural matrix of the international reach of the professionals who work there. Many of the innovative financial structures originated in the United States, and it is important to have direct access to these new legal techniques,» concludes the partner, who now has the responsibility to move from words to action.
