White & Case Antitrust Practice Selected as Law360 "Competition Practice Group of the Year 2011"
January 13, 2012, Law360

Law360 has named White & Case's Antitrust Group as one of its five "Competition Practices of 2011." Law360 selected White & Case based on "the significance of litigation wins or deal worked on; the size and complexity of the litigation wins or deals worked on; and the number of significant, large or complex deals the firm worked on or lawsuits the firm had wins in."

"We would like to thank Law360 for this distinction," said J. Mark Gidley, chair of the global antitrust practice. "We thank our clients for making this success possible. Our global strength was a key component to our garnering this award. Our cases of first impression, along with our extensive track record in winning trials and cartel cases and handling complex global mergers across many jurisdictions, set White & Case apart."

Hugh Verrier, Chairman of the Firm, noted: "Particularly in antitrust and competition law, White & Case's unique global antitrust footprint and dedication to coordination across our offices has proven highly effective, and we are honored that these efforts are being proven through recognition by Law360."

This award builds upon White & Case's Global Antitrust Practice's tier-one ranking in this year's edition of Best Law Firms in November 2011, published by US News Media Group and Best Lawyers. In addition to this tier-one National ranking, our team also received a top ranking in New York as well.
