White & Case veteran to co-lead Global Comp Practice

At Law360, White & Case partner Rebecca Farrington discusses her appointment as co-chair of the firm’s Global Antitrust/Competition Practice, alongside White & Case partner J. Mark Gidley, who previously led the practice in its entirety for more than two decades.

Farrington and Gidley described the promotion as “a natural reflection of the antitrust practice, which now includes more than 170 lawyers worldwide dedicated exclusively to competition law, and more than 265 if you include lawyers who devote more than half their time to antitrust.”

“Our clients are facing increasingly complex challenges around the world,” Farrington notes. “Having two co-CEOs leading the Firm’s global response to these dynamics gives us greater bandwidth to serve our clients.”

The practice is “growing, in a way, explosively,” Gidley notes. “It’s really great to have co-chairs, rather than just one,” he said.

Farrington joined our firm in 2008. Her practice focuses on global merger and acquisition investigations, private antitrust litigation and antitrust counseling.

As for the firm’s future plans, Farrington says, “the plan is for White & Case to remain the place where it’s truly best to be an antitrust lawyer.”
