White & Case Names Inigo Esteve as Executive Partner in London

White & Case has appointed Inigo Esteve, a capital markets attorney, as the new executive partner of its London office.

Esteve will assume the role on November 1, succeeding international arbitration partner Dipen Sabharwal KC, who has been heading the London office since the beginning of 2022 and was recently appointed to White & Case's global executive committee.

“I am very pleased to announce Inigo as the new office executive partner in London,” said firm chair Heather McDevitt.

“I also want to thank Dipen for his leadership of the London office, which continued to be successful during a period of considerable global uncertainty,” McDevitt added.

These appointments are part of a broader leadership reorganisation at White & Case. This reorganisation saw McDevitt, a commercial litigator based in New York, assume the role of chair at the beginning of September, succeeding long-serving leader Hugh Verrier.

Esteve joined White & Case as a partner in 2014, joining from Clifford Chance. In his role, he provides guidance to issuers, their shareholders, and investment banks on equity capital markets transactions conducted on the London Stock Exchange and various other exchanges across the EMEA region.

Esteve expressed his enthusiasm for assuming the role of executive partner in London. He noted the significance of the White & Case team in London, which operates within one of the world's foremost financial centres and serves as the global hub for English law. Esteve also highlighted that international clients depend on the team to assist them with their most critical affairs.

“I look forward to working with our executive committee, partners and other colleagues to ensure the London office continues to be a significant contributor to the wider success of our firm, and of our clients, in the years ahead,” Esteve said.
