White & Case: no loitering

True about W&C losing out in terms of top-tier work to the higher ranked firms. HV needs to get his eye on the ball and assert more control and leadership of the firm. A nice guy but lacking the clear vision, ambition, and focus of a great law firm head. W&C needs to more aggressively go after the clients, invest in increased marketing and branding in order to compete. Their current strategy looks like it is to double-down on emerging markets like China and Brazil to catch their boom in the next decade. A good strategy, but it shouldn't be a trade-off to aggressively expanding client relationships in the U.S. or U.K.
