White & Case has hired Heather Pilley, consultant at Linklaters in London, as a partner. Francis Fitzherbert-Brockholes, co-head of the capital markets group in London, said the firm hired Pilley to increase its depth in derivatives and support its collateralized debt obligation practice.
The firm is starting to see more areas of capital markets using derivatives technology, noted Fitzherbert-Brockholes. "We find ourselves in situations where even simple transactions have derivatives components," he added.
