As we reflect on this significant milestone, our team is grateful for all the colleagues, clients, and friends who have supported us along the way.  At White & Case, we not only track local and regional developments but global…

Less than 48 hours ago, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the US Congress, directly appealing to President Biden to do even more to support Ukraine.
