Dylan Glazier’s expertise covers a wide range of complex fund finance matters. His practice is centered on advising both lenders and borrowers on various financial structures, such as bilateral and syndicated subscription lines, management lines, NAV/hybrid facilities, letters of credit, and other secured and unsecured lending arrangements. His addition is expected to bolster White & Case’s competitive edge in a rapidly expanding market.
Eric Leicht, White & Case Executive Committee member, praised the strategic importance of this hire, saying, “Dylan builds on a number of recent lateral additions to our Investment Funds Practice, including Emma Russell, a leading fund finance practitioner who joined the Firm’s London office in December.

These strategic moves reflect the firm’s expanding reach and a clear intention to capture a larger share of the fund finance market while delivering exceptional legal services to clients across the globe.
