FROM OUR
chairman
White & Case had a strong year in 2014, as confidence in the global economy returned. Companies looked for growth, and we saw the resurgence of high-value M&A, dozens of well-received IPOs and a
stream of innovative, cross-border financings. Our business reflected these trends.
We had a landmark year. Our revenue increased to more than US$1.5 billion—our highest yet and the outcome of our long-term strategy to be a leading global law firm.
In 2014 we welcomed 35 new partners, 19 from within and 16 who are new to the Firm. I take great pride in the way all our partners work together to serve our clients. They make White & Case the great Firm that it is.
A highlight for me personally was the recognition we received from the Clinton Global Initiative for our work with the Kingdom of Bhutan to create the country’s first law school. This is just one of many projects White & Case supports to improve legal education and build the rule of law around the world.
In this year’s annual review, we focus on issues that affected our clients in 2014 and set the stage for 2015. We present eight themes covering a range of issues we addressed over the year as we worked with our clients to navigate challenges and seize opportunities.
The year ahead shows all the signs of being another exciting year for the Firm and for our clients. We look forward to it.
