White & Case’s London arm paid out £10.4m towards the global firm’s central running costs in 2010 – an increase of over 40% on the previous year.

The firm’s new UK limited liability partnership (LLP) accounts for 2010 show its London office paid out in excess of £10.4m in contributions towards White & Case’s share of joint costs, up from slightly more than £7.4m in 2009. The contribution from the firm’s UK practice has more than doubled since 2008, when it paid out £4.7m.
