In a notable shift within the legal community, two key figures from White & Case—Matthew Devine and Brienne Letourneau—have made the transition to Sidley Austin as partners. This move was confirmed by Sidley on Tuesday, marking a significant change in the firm’s composition, particularly in its Chicago operations. Devine, who served as the executive partner for White & Case’s Chicago office, departs after a tenure spanning more than four years.
Devine held the leadership position since January 2023 and is recognized for his representation of prominent clients across various sectors, including a beverage maker and an automobile manufacturer. Letourneau, who became part of White & Case in May 2023 after moving from Willkie, is also joining Sidley’s team.
A spokesperson from White & Case has conveyed well wishes for Devine and Letourneau in their future endeavors at Sidley Austin. For further details on this transition, readers can access the full article on Bloomberg Law.
