White & Case reported an average profit per equity partner of $3.1 million for 2023, marking a 13% increase from the previous year’s $2.8 million. The firm’s London revenue declined slightly to $444 million from $451 million, while global revenue grew by 4% to $2.95 billion from $2.8 billion. The net income increased by 9% to $1.192 from $1.092.

Oliver Brettle, (pictured) vice-chair of White & Case, an English employment lawyer who has helped drive diversity and growth, attributed the positive results to robust activity in key sectors such as restructuring, finance, and capital markets, noting a 39 percent increase in revenue from private equity over the past five years.
