Arun joins White & Case from Paul Hastings, where he was co-chair of the international tax practice, and brings more than 25 years of experience.

Jiten has extensive experience advising asset managers and investment funds on the tax aspects of fund formation, portfolio investments and financing arrangements. He advises on complex cross-border transactions for global investors and asset managers and also has significant experience on mergers and acquisitions, private equity, corporate and financial restructurings and tax aspects of financing transactions. Jiten joins White & Case from Paul Hastings, where he was a partner, and brings more than 15 years of experience.

“Arun and Jiten bring a unique and differentiated combination of deep expertise in transactional and tax structuring, commercial acumen, strong client relationships and a stellar reputation in the market,” said White & Case partner Sang I. Ji, head of the Global Tax Practice. “They add materially to our strong tax team in London, which includes partners Will Lund, Jessica Kemp and Catherine Hill, further deepening the integrated tax offering that White & Case provides globally to ensure our clients complete their key deals successfully.”

White & Case partner and Vice Chair Oliver Brettle said: “The arrival of Arun and Jiten is another clear example of strategic expansion on a global basis that ensures White & Case is positioned to support clients on their most important, complex, cross-border matters. Continuing to meet the growing demand from our international clients has driven targeted global growth across key practices including M&A, private equity and investment funds and this, in turn, generates the need for top-of-the-market advice that leading lawyers like Arun and Jiten provide. Adding their outstanding talent to our partnership reflects the strength and ongoing success of White & Case.”
