Global law firm White & Case LLP is continuing to expand its Global Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) Practice with the addition of Sue Nieto as a partner in Washington, DC.
“US M&A activity is picking up in both sponsor and strategic deals,” said the Firm’s Chair Heather McDevitt. “At White & Case, we are strengthening our bench with talented additions like Sue so we can help clients execute with confidence in a complex dealmaking environment.”
Sue advises on mergers and acquisitions involving public and private companies, private equity funds, SPACs and joint ventures across a variety of sectors. She joins White & Case from Reed Smith, where she was a partner. Sue’s prior experience includes serving as in-house counsel at a quantitative trading firm.
White & Case Co-Head of Global M&A Kimberly Petillo-Décossard added: “We’re expanding our M&A Practice with talent that enhances how we work together across disciplines and markets. Sue’s outstanding cross-border experience and excellent relationships with corporates and sponsors make her another strong addition to our team.”
More than 25 lateral partners have joined the firm globally over the past year.
Recent US-based additions include partners Andrea Basham, Jennifer Cheng, Paul Tiger, Airi Hammalov and Stephen Fraidin in New York; Gabriel Salinas, Josh Teahen, Ian Goldberg and Alex Miron in Houston; and Nicole Daley in Boston.
