White & Case revealed plans in September to launch its Australian presence with two new offices in Melbourne and Sydney with a 10-partner project finance team hire from HSF. This week, the US-based firm has announced that another project finance team made up of Melbourne-based senior associates Adeline Pang and Ged Cochrane and special counsel Michelle Keen will also be coming on-board for the launch, with all three set to join White & Case as partners. The firm’s Melbourne office is scheduled to open its doors on 1 December, with the Sydney office to follow shortly after in January.
