White & Case Welcomes Aaron Kenavan and Jamie Palmer to M&A Partnership

White & Case, a global law firm, has made a strategic move by welcoming Aaron Kenavan and Jamie Palmer, both former partners from Allen & Overy (A&O) and Shearman, to its Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) partnership in Sydney, Australia. This recruitment is part of White & Case's broader strategy to enhance its M&A capabilities within Australia, which remains a dynamic and active market for corporate and M&A activities. The intention is to boost their ability to advise clients on high-profile and complex M&A and private equity transactions while also offering public company guidance. John Reiss, head of the global M&A practice at White & Case, emphasized the importance of this expansion to support their global M&A practice and private equity group. Kenavan and Palmer are not limited to working within Australia; they are expected to integrate with the Asia-Pacific (APAC) M&A team, thereby extending their expertise to financial sponsors and corporations for cross-border investments involving Australia.
