Despite the continued slowdown in the debt finance markets and the defection of key members of its banking & finance team, law firm White & Case LLP is advising on five deals with a combined value of more than US$27bn. The deals span the US, Europe and Asia, and include several record-breaking transactions to date in their respective regions and countries.
The biggest deal was its representation of Citigroup Inc, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley in the provision of debt financing for Dow Chemical Company’s US$18.8bn acquisition of Rohm & Haas.
The firm also represented Deutsche Bank, GE Commercial Finance, ING Bank, Morgan Stanley and DBS as mandated lead arrangers in connection with the provision of debt financing to Kohlberg Kravis Roberts to acquire Unisteel Technology Limited, a Singapore-listed maker of disk-drive components, for approximately US$578m.

Class action or a representative action is a form of lawsuit in which a large group of people collectively bring a claim to court and/or in which a class of defendants is being sued. This form of collective lawsuit originated in the United States and is still predominantly a U.S. phenomenon, at least the U.S. variant of it. In the United States federal courts, class actions are governed by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule. Since 1938, many states have adopted rules similar to the FRCP. However, some states like California have civil procedure systems which deviate significantly from the federal rules; the California Codes provide for four separate types of class actions. As a result, there are two separate treatises devoted solely to the complex topic of California class actions. Some states, such as Virginia, do not provide for any class actions, while others, such as New York, limit the types of claims that may be brought as class actions.
