A month after setting up shop in Chicago, White & Case has hired DLA Piper’s Thomas Horenkamp as a partner for its global M&A and private equity practice in the Windy City.

“White & Case really presents a pretty exciting opportunity in the Chicago legal community,” Horenkamp said Monday. “It’s a top-notch, high-quality law firm that has a truly global presence and that just presented itself with a fantastic opportunity for a practice like mine.”
