Former Las Vegas Sands general counsel Ira Raphaelson has found a new home at White & Case, joining the firm’s antitrust practice as senior counsel in its Washington, D.C., and Chicago offices, several months after ending a short stint at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan.

Raphaelson had briefly stepped away from the practice of law after leaving Stroock in August. But at a periodic lunch with an old friend and colleague, White & Case competition practice global head Mark Gidley, the two broached the subject of working together again.
