Fried Frank hires White from Kirkland & Ellis

White also becomes managing partner at the firm's London office.

White joins Fried Frank's corporate department based in New York from the London offices of Chicago firm Kirkland & Ellis, where he dealt with corporate and private equity affairs and was part of the management committee.

Prior to his stint at Kirkland & Ellis, University of Strathclyde-educated White worked in Linklaters' private equity practice.

The appointment follows the recent trend of American law firms gearing up to take on Britain's magic circle, which has seen a number of high-profile British lawyers move to US firms.
