White & Case has expanded its South Africa offering with the hire of three new partners in its Johannesburg office, including Linklater alliance firm Webber Wentzel’s head of banking and finance.

The firm has also announced the office is to become the firm’s hub for project finance and bank finance activity in sub-Saharan Africa, and is relocating a further two London-based lawyers to boost the US-headquartered firm’s Johannesburg offering.
