White & Case has focused on strengthening its regional expertise in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and the mining sector with two key appointments. The firm has boosted its China M&A practice with the addition of new partner, Tao Lan, in Beijing, coming from Dewey & LeBoeuf, also in Beijing. It has also lifted its global mining capabilities with the hire of John Tivey from Freehills in Melbourne, where he headed that firm’s mining practice.
Tao’s practice supports the firm’s goals of strengthening its global M&A practice and increasing its capabilities in China, while Tivey will lead White & Case’s global mining and metals industry group, splitting his time between the firm’s Singapore and Hong Kong offices.

“We would expect John to be fully involved in China-related mining deals given that he is the global head of our mining industry group, and also that he is based in Asia,” said Barrye Wall, partner and section head of White & Case in Asia. “He will work closely with our partners in Greater China on exploiting these kinds of opportunities.”
