McDermott Will & Emery has snatched a long-time competition partner from White & Case in one of the biggest lateral hires in the Brussels market this year.

Alex Schulz spent his full career at White & Case. He joined White & Case as an associate in 2000 and was promoted to local partner in 2009 and to partner in 2012. In 2019, he was appointed “executive partner”, a role which saw him navigating the office through the Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns and organising and chairing partner meetings every two weeks.
