White & Case LLP

Regularly acting on the buy side in major transactions, the ‘hardworking’ and ’commercial’ team at White & Case LLP is highly regarded for its knowledge in high-value acquisitions and majority investments. The team has experience in advising infrastructure funds and financial sponsors operating across a multitude of sectors, spanning from software to healthcare. The London team is jointly led by the ‘superb’ Richard Jones, and Lucy Bullock, a key port of call for a host of portfolio companies. Other key figures include Ken Barry, who concentrates on leveraged buyouts and disposals, and Joe Bradley, who draws praise for his commerciality and client service. Helen Croke joined the firm from Ropes & Gray LLP in June 2025.
