White & Case
White & Case LLP is a global white-shoe law firm based in New York City. Founded in 1901, the firm has 46 offices in 31 countries worldwide.
The firm was founded on May 1, 1901, when two Wall Street lawyers, Justin DuPratt White, 31, and George B. Case, 28, each contributed $250 (equivalent to $9,449 in 2024) to establish White & Case.
White attended Cornell Law School on a state scholarship, where he was an editor of The Cornell Daily Sun. Case attended Yale University, where he played college baseball for the Yale Bulldogs, and then Columbia Law School.
The pair had a close relationship with Henry P. Davison, a noted banker who helped create the Federal Reserve. The firm's first clients included Bankers Trust Company.
James Hurlock led the firm as chairman from 1980 to 2000. Under Hurlock, the firm tripled its roster of lawyers and expanded into multiple global markets.
In 1994, White & Case was among the first American law firms to open offices in Vietnam. Among the firm’s first clients in the region were PetroVietnam and Vietnamese State Bank.
Duane Wall was named chairman in 2000. Although he refocused its business on New York's financial services industry, Wall also oversaw a merger with the German firm Feddersen Laule Ewerwahn Scherzberg Finkelnburg Clemm. This enabled White & Case to become the first American company to enter the "top ten" firms in Germany.
On October 1, 2007, White & Case announced a new leadership team led by chairman Hugh Verrier. Shortly after taking the reins of the firm, Verrier retained the consulting firm of McKinsey & Company to conduct a review of its worldwide business operations.
