White & Case has announced its new management teams with London partners initially missing out on any firmwide leadership positions.

The US firm's newly-elected chairman Hugh Verrier has appointed three partners to the decision-making executive committee – Istanbul-based corporate and financial services partner Asli Basgoz and New York partners Dimitrios Drivas (litigation and intellectual property) and Tony Kahn (corporate and financial services).

The four will work closely with the firm's new partnership committee which comprises Ian Forrester (Brussels), Tim Goodell (New York), Petri Haussila (Helsinki), David Koschik (New York), Carolyn Lamm (Washington) and Jan Matejcek (Prague).
