White & Case partner set to join Morgan Stanley

Glengarry joined White & Case in 2003 and was promoted to partner in 2009. He focuses his practice on financial restructuring and insolvency and was one of the lawyers who advised on Greece’s £110bn bailout. Alongside Allen & Overy and Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, the White & Case team of Glengarry and partners Ian Clark, Michael Doran and Gavin McLean advised the steering committee of the private creditor investor committee for Greece on the bailout agreement.
Commenting on his new appointment, Glengarry said: “Joining Morgan Stanley in a business role is very exciting. I look forward to continuing to work with my friends and colleagues at White & Case. I want to thank the firm for the fantastic opportunities and support that they gave me over the last nine years.”
He will leave White & Case at the end of next week but it is unknown when exactly he is due to start his new role at Morgan Stanley.
Rob Mathews, regional head of the firm’s Western Europe, Middle East and Africa banking and capital markets group, said: “We’ll miss Mark but fully understand and support his decision to take a senior position with one of our leading clients. We look forward to continuing to work with him in the future and thank him for his many contributions to the firm.”
Glengarry’s departure leaves the financial restructuring and insolvency team with 14 lawyers, including three partners. His exit follows the departure of funds partner Matthew Judd to Ropes & Gray last month, along with associates Joshua Cronin and Anand Damodaran.
