Global law firm White & Case LLP has expanded its Global Financial Restructuring and Insolvency Practice and Global Private Capital Industry Group with the addition of Tarun Warriar as a partner in Hong Kong.
"Tarun's broad experience across restructuring, special situations, M&A, and debt finance makes him an outstanding addition to our global capabilities," said White & Case Chair Heather McDevitt. "He brings a sophisticated understanding of the market and a proven record advising clients in complex, high stakes engagements. His arrival adds even further strength to our Financial Restructuring and Insolvency Practice and deepens our ability to advise our clients on their most complex restructuring matters."
Tarun's practice spans financial restructuring and capital solutions transactions, advising on distressed and complex situations across public and private markets in Asia-Pacific. Clients include hedge funds, private equity firms, debtors, creditors, bondholders, institutional investors and ad hoc creditors' committees. He also has significant experience advising on India-focused investments and transactions. Tarun joins White & Case from Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, where he was a partner, prior to which he was Managing Director and Asia-Pacific General Counsel at Värde Partners, a global investment firm specializing in credit and credit-related assets.
"Over the last 15 years, there has been a seismic explosion in the quantum and construct of capital investment on both a global and regional basis. This phenomenon has included southeast Asia and the Pacific Rim. Restructuring opportunities, which follow new investment as night follows day, have increased correspondingly and have become increasingly complex and nuanced, frequently requiring simultaneous, coordinated advice across multiple jurisdictions and disciplines, including debt finance, high yield, M&A, in and out of court restructuring and insolvency expertise, governance and litigation," said White & Case partner Thomas Lauria, Global Head of the Firm's Financial Restructuring and Insolvency Practice. "As this trend has continued, and with no end in sight, we are on the constant lookout for opportunities to increase and enhance our industry leading multijurisdictional financial restructuring and insolvency capabilities. Tarun's regional expertise, coupled with the strength of our global restructuring platform and our established M&A and debt finance practices in the region, gives us the ability to stay on the cutting edge of the business and to continue to give our clients what they come to us for – the best advice for their most difficult problems."
