White & Case expands Capital Markets Practice

White & Case LLP has expanded its Global Capital Markets Practice with the addition of Debashis Dey as a partner in the United Arab Emirates.

Dey, who will be based in Dubai, has extensive experience advising international and domestic investment banks and corporates on capital markets, securitisation and all types of structured finance, including Islamic finance sukuk transactions, regulatory capital transactions, commercial and residential mortgages, and consumer finance and other asset classes. He joins the Firm from Clifford Chance where he was head of Capital Markets for the Middle East.

“We continue to see the Middle East emerging as a financial centre and Islamic finance becoming an increasingly significant option within the capital markets arena,” said Rob Mathews, regional section head for Capital Markets in EMEA. “The arrival of Debashis is a strategic step in expanding our capital markets practice in the region and meeting the needs of our clients.”
