Global law firm White & Case LLP has expanded its Global Debt Finance Practice with the addition of Paul Yin as a partner in London. He joins White & Case from Skadden, where he was European counsel, and brings more than a decade of experience.

“The UK is the world’s second largest legal market and our London debt finance team continues to experience high demand across all its service offerings,” said White & Case partner Eric Leicht, head of the Firm’s Global Debt Finance Practice. “Paul brings great versatility as a lawyer and gives us additional firepower as we expand to meet the growing demands of our clients.”

Paul advises commercial and investment banks, private equity sponsors and corporate borrowers on a wide range of cross-border and domestic transactions including acquisition, real estate and general corporate financings. 

“Our London banking team enjoyed another successful year in 2021, and Paul’s arrival adds further bench strength and continues the forward momentum,” said White & Case partner Colin Harley, Regional Section Head, EMEA Banking. “He is a highly capable lawyer with excellent technical skills whose knowledge and experience will further enhance the service we provide to our clients as we continue to grow our market share.”

White & Case partner Oliver Brettle, a London-based member of the Firm’s global Executive Committee, said: “The ongoing status of London as a global financial centre, and the importance of English law in governing cross-border transactions, ensure that banking remains a strategically important practice for White & Case in London and Paul joins a leading team advising global clients on their most important transactions. His arrival also follows the lateral addition in London this year of M&A partner David Lewis and capital markets partner Anthony Colegrave, as well as eight internal partner promotions.”
