White & Case is set to become one of the first major international law firms to pull out of the Italian market as it prepares to close its Milan office at the end of next month (30 November). The 15-lawyer Milan office is the US firm's only presence in the country as it closed its offices in Rome and Turin three years ago. The office's sole equity partner, Sean Geary, will relocate to New York while the five local partners and the remaining lawyers will leave White & Case. The firm said in a statement: "White & Case has periodically reviewed its position in the Italian market since opening there. It was concluded in the most recent of these reviews that the level of investment required to reach the position in Italy that the firm requires of its operations in any market was beyond that which is in the best interests of the firm as a whole."
