White & Case LLP

White & Case LLP's combined German, English and US capital markets expertise is sought after not only by investment banks but also increasingly by issuers, who also benefit from the team's cross-practice capacities. Notably, the Frankfurt office's US expertise has resulted in the team's strong presence in the high-yield area, which is led by Rebecca Emory. Karsten Wöckener (also Head of Germany) usually advises on classic debt transactions; most recently these have included various green bonds and securities backed by digital assets. Cristina Freudenberger (DCM, ECM, hybrid corporate finance products) joined Clifford Chance in June 2024. However, the following month, Felix Biedermann (DCM as well as banking regulatory law) joined from Simmons & Simmons.
