Perspective:
2025

What's inside

A brief overview of the ambitions and achievements powering the Firm

Welcome

Chair

I am pleased to welcome you to White & Case’s annual review, Perspective: 2025.

This past year, our clients navigated extraordinary complexity—driven by rapid technological advances, shifting geopolitics and evolving market demands. At every turn, our people met these challenges head-on, delivering solutions and steady guidance that empowered our clients to achieve their goals.

In these pages, you’ll find stories of impact: transformative deals in energy, technology and infrastructure; landmark victories in the courtroom; and strategic investments that shape industries worldwide. Our work with clients such as Blackstone, EchoStar, Toshiba, Shutterstock and many others showcases the power of collaboration, creativity and a relentless commitment to excellence.

2025 was also a year of growth and renewal for our Firm. We set a new revenue record, expanded our global reach and launched initiatives that invest in our people and our future—including our partnership with Legora, a leading AI platform, and our Momentum program, which is redefining associate development at White & Case.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Whether you are a longstanding client, a new colleague or simply interested in learning more about White & Case, I invite you to explore Perspective: 2025 and see how we are shaping the future—together.

All my best,


Heather K. McDevitt, Chair
