Our Brussels office recently held its 11th annual Women’s Event at the Villa Empain. After an introduction by partner Jacquelyn MacLennan, external speakers Eugenia Rebotunova, Senior Counsel at Sayenko Kharenko, and Lucia Bonova, Member of the Cabinet of European Commission EVP Margrether Vestager, shared some thoughts in an inspiring and moving talk on the challenges currently faced by Ukrainian women and the leadership they have demonstrated in recent months.

The guests were then invited to a private tour of ‘Portrait of a Lady’, an exhibition bringing together eighty-five works by major artists in their representation of women in the history of art, and enjoyed drinks and dinner while having a chance to connect professionally. A huge thank you to Eugenia and Lucia, and to the 130 participants for contributing to a wonderful evening. We're already looking forward to next year!

“Winning cases is mostly a matter of identifying and presenting the evidence. We are delighted to share this view with young practitioners in the framework of a truly international master program.” Dr. Markus Burianski and Christian M Theissen, both partners at White & Case’s Frankfurt office, yesterday welcomed 17 students from the Graduate Program on International Dispute Resolution Master of Laws at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin to join our workshop “Witness Examination” in our Berlin office.

Witness Examination is a crucial and integral aspect of international arbitration, one that requires a unique set of techniques and tactics, which were presented, discussed and practiced with the participants. Thanks to everyone who took part and enjoyed the evening with us afterwards!

Our London office recently hosted a session of the Africa Arbitration Academy, an academy designed to provide specialised training to African arbitration practitioners over three weeks at different law firms in London, which we have proudly sponsored for three consecutive years.

Over the last 40 years, we have regularly advised African governments as well as sponsors and lenders in connection with some of the largest projects in Africa. We have also recently been recognised as the “Africa-wide Dispute Resolution Law Firm of the Year” at the Chambers Africa Awards 2022, as a result of our outstanding dispute resolution record on the continent.

Our continued support for this Academy is simply a testament to our deep commitment to encouraging knowledge exchange in the arbitration community and deepening our relationship with young arbitration practitioners in Africa.

Litigation associates across the Americas region recently participated in the 2022 Trial Academy Depositions, the first live in-person Trial Academy since COVID-19. Associates from Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, Silicon Valley, New York and Washington D.C. gathered in the New York Office to participate in this two-day experiential program. Partners joined as faculty and “judges” to provide the associates with real-time feedback on their mock depositions and cross-examinations.

“This year we were excited to invite more than 30 summer associates to play witnesses in these mock proceedings!” said Liza Yeres, Manager of Learning & Development. Paige Kennett, a New York Office Summer Associate, shared that “Not only was it educational to watch and hear feedback about deposition skills, it was fun! It is heartening to know that White & Case provides so many opportunities like this for attorneys to learn and grow their legal skills at all points in their career.” Congratulations and thank you to all the partners, associates and summer associates that worked together to make the Trial Academy Depositions a success!

White & Case is proud to observe Juneteenth, known to some as the United States’ "second Independence Day", and celebrate the rich history of African-American culture and the contributions of Black Americans to American culture today.

Co-chair of our US Black Affinity Network, Sheldon Philip, shares his thoughts on the importance of observing Juneteenth: “The Firm’s observance of Juneteenth—which commemorates the end of slavery throughout the United States on June 19, 1865—is part of its broader commitment to advancing racial justice and equality. I hope Juneteenth will provide everyone an opportunity to reflect on the progress that has been made on this front, while also recognizing the work that still needs to be done to make this country a more fair and equitable place for all”.

As part of our celebrations this year, our US Black Affinity Network will host a virtual tour of historically significant landmarks including Hampton, Virginia and Austin. Guests will also learn of the history of celebration foods such as BBQ and “red foods” - which are used to symbolize resilience and joy.
