White & Case: no loitering

Comment

I worked at W&C for a few years and left for one of the Sweet 16 firms mentioned above. W&C have always done well in their core areas of finance, energy and arbitration, but they lost their way in the last decade exactly because they thought they were more top tier than they really were. Their profitability is way closer to Reed Smith, Hogan Lovells than Clearys or Latham, & they're now being challenged in their marquee practices by exactly the firms mentioned. Sayng they could be like Clearys or Latham if they had a bit better M&A business is like saying we could all look like George Clooney if we looked more like George Clooney.
