Jessica Kemp joins White & Case as a Partner in London

Jessica Kemp has joined White & Case LLP as a partner in London, expanding the global law firm's tax practice. She moves to White & Case from Travers Smith, where she was a partner and head of M&A tax.

"The demand on our tax practice in London has continued to grow," said White & Case partner Sang I. Ji, who leads the firm's tax practice. "The addition of Jessica, another highly experienced tax partner, is an important step to further build the practice to meet this demand."

Jessica Kemp advises companies, financial sponsors, and management teams on tax matters related to M&A, restructurings, capital markets, and structural and incentive-based issues. She also handles tax inquiries and disputes.

"Jessica is a talented tax partner with experience advising clients on a wide range of transactions," said White & Case partner James Dodsworth, Regional Section Head EMEA M&A/Specialists. "This experience makes Jessica a valuable addition to our tax practice in London and enables her to hit the ground running, advising our clients on the full spectrum of their tax needs."

Oliver Brettle, a member of White & Case's global Executive Committee, said: "We have expanded our transactional practices in London and across EMEA in recent years through the addition of market-leading partners and partner promotions. It is essential that we mirror that growth in our tax practice and Jessica's arrival is an important step in that direction."
