Neill Blundell has recently joined global law firm White & Case as a partner in their white collar practice based in London, according to a press release issued by the firm. This news was initially reported by Bloomberg Law.
Blundell will be rendering legal advice to corporations and individuals, particularly in the areas of compliance, pre-investigations, and prosecutions carried out by UK agencies. Moreover, he will be involved in multi-jurisdictional investigations. This broad scope of work echoes the global reach of White & Case, and the nature of issues many of the firm’s clients grapple with.
Prior to joining White & Case, Blundell led the corporate crime and investigations practice at Macfarlanes, another reputed London-based law firm. His move is not just a leap to another firm but sees him taking charge of White & Case’s London white collar team. As the leader of this team, he will undoubtedly continue to leverage the expertise he developed in his previous role.
No doubt this addition marks a strengthening of White & Case’s white collar practice offering. As regulatory environments continue to become more complex in many jurisdictions, expertise in white collar procedures and investigations will continue to be sought after by many businesses and individuals.
