White & Case to Lay Off London Partners

After a redundancy consultation, White & Case is informing over 10% of its 73 London partners they must turn in their wigs and go work somewhere else.

Up to nine partners in the firm’s finance group will be out by the end of the year. Also, some partners have been demoted from equity status.

White & Case laid off 200 associates and 200 staffers in March.
