Global law firm White & Case LLP bolsters again its United States Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) practice with the addition of Daniel Dufner as a partner in the Firm’s New York office. Dufner rejoins White & Case from Linklaters. He had previously been a partner at White & Case from 2004 to 2009.
“We are excited that Dan has decided to rejoin the Firm,” said John Reiss, head of White & Case’s Global M&A Practice. “Our Global M&A practice, particularly in New York, London and Asia, is a key strategic priority for the Firm. We are focused on continuing to grow that practice.”
Dufner joins Mort Pierce and his team of six M&A partners who themselves joined White & Case in 2012. Dufner regularly represents major corporations, such as WellPoint, EchoStar, Dish Network and Blockbuster (now a subsidiary of Dish). He represented WellPoint in its recent US$4.9 billion acquisition of Amerigroup Corporation and has been representing Blockbuster, the DVD and video game rental company, with respect to the administration of Blockbuster’s business in the United Kingdom.
