Law.com - White & Case to Undergo Major Reorganization
The subtitle of this article could be "Global, but not Integrated." But that is now all going to change for W&C it seems. There are some very interesting cross-currents here. The regional structure still leaves open the question of how integrated the individual offices will be, even if they might be better integrated with the other offices in the region. Will the offices in the various regions be integrated with the offices in the other regions, and, if so, how? On the other side is the client team concept, which, at least for the five clients involved, should integrate the entire firm and all its offices behind the needs of the specific clients involved. This structure bears some watching to see how well it plays out and whether it really solves the problems inherent in having a firm with many far flung offices that are essentially independent of one another.
