Two debt finance partners from A&O join White & Case in New York

White & Case has hired two debt finance partners Rajani Gupta and Judah Frogel from Allen & Overy (A&O) in New York.

The newly added members of the firm join its global debt finance practice after six years at A&O. Frogel has previously worked at White & Case as an associate between 2005 and 2012, and again as a Partner between 2015 and 2016.

Both Gupta and Frogel specialize in handling domestic and international debt finance transactions, including acquisition financings, first-and-second-lien financings, debtor-in-possession and exit financings and working capital and asset-based financings. Their clients include banks, private equity funds, corporates and other financial institutions.

Another new arrival was fellow New York-based partner Brett Pallin, who moved over from Kirkland & Ellis in June.

The firm also hired a trio of private credit partners in Boston from Proskauer Rose in March. The group included Vincenzo Lucibello, who joined as co-head of White & Case's US private credit and direct lending group.
