White & Case Expands APAC M&A and Private Equity Team with New Partners in Sydney

White & Case has bolstered its M&A and Private Equity practice in the Asia-Pacific region by welcoming seasoned Partners Aaron Kenavan and Jamie Palmer, both joining the firm’s Sydney office from A&O Shearman. The addition strengthens White & Case’s capabilities in Australia, a key market within the firm’s global network.

Kenavan and Palmer bring over 45 years of combined experience in M&A and Private Equity. Kenavan, a specialist in Australian and cross-border corporate transactions, has advised on major public takeovers and mergers in sectors including consumer goods, energy, mining, infrastructure, and technology.

Their move comes following the recent merger of Allen & Overy and Shearman & Sterling, resulting in restructuring efforts that saw a 10% reduction in Equity Partnership at A&O Shearman.
