Ms Fong is in the firm’s global project development and finance practice and focuses on advising corporate borrowers, sponsors and financial institutions on a range of cross-border and domestic financing transactions, including project finance, debt capital markets, leveraged finance and general bank lending.
The two promotions are part of a global round of 45, with seven elevated in the Asia-Pacific region, eight in the Americas, and 30 in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
The promotions are effective as of 1 January 2024.
The news follows the naming of two new Australian partners at the global firm earlier this month, as well as its nabbing of two partners from BigLaw rival Clayton Utz back in August.
Speaking about the promotions, White & Case chair Heather McDevitt said: “We are proud of what these exceptional lawyers have achieved in their careers to date and the significant contribution they all make to the success of the firm through a commitment to providing our clients with the highest standards of service.
“Representing 13 practices and 22 offices across the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific, they have a wide range of skills, experience and backgrounds and demonstrate the diverse and truly global nature of White & Case.”
