Not sure why White & Case thinks people will be fooled by this:
White & Case has made an additional round of partner promotions in a bid to rebuild its partnership, following a number of high-profile departures in recent weeks.
The U.S. firm has promoted five lawyers to the partnership.
The promotions plug the gaps in several areas where the firm has been badly affected by recent departures, with two new partners in Abu Dhabi and three in its global banking practice.
Why this is a joke, after the jump.
The firm just announced a huge class of 33 partners just four months ago and none of these people, however nice they may be, made the cut.
Losing others shouldn’t mean that people previously considered not-yet-qualified should get promoted.
Firm chair Hugh Verrier commented: “These new partners are among the emerging generation of leaders cultivated within White & Case, reflecting our future as a truly global law firm. Their election to partner underscores our commitment to serving our clients and further strengthening our global banking and Middle East practices.”
At least Verrier has finally poked his head out with a public comment.See related stories below for plenty of previous coverage on the subject.
