One of Nixon Peabody’s biggest dealmakers and two other partners are jumping to DLA Piper to boost its sports, entertainment and finance practices. Peter White, a partner in Nixon Peabody’s New York office who orchestrated financing for the New York Yankees and Mets stadiums, is joined by Mark Whitaker in Washington, D.C., and Katherine Baynes in Rochester. Both of those attorneys have public finance practices. The move is intended to bolster DLA Piper’s sports and entertainment practice, especially on international deals. Mr. White’s “ability to do this on our platform here and in other places, as in China, is an example of the enormous opportunity,” said Roger Meltzer, global chairman of DLA Piper’s corporate and finance practice.
Mr. White has worked on the financing, development and operation of stadiums and arenas for professional sports teams in the National Football League, Major League Baseball, National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League. He worked on more than $5 billion in financing for NFL franchises including the New York Giants, New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots. — Leigh Jones
