The AllAboutLaw perspective on White & Case
With offices from Beijing to Boston, White & Case is a truly global law firm. Trainees at White & Case regularly work on big-ticket cases with clients all over the world. No two days are the same for a White & Case trainee, as you’ll be solving problems within multiple legal systems. Every day, you’ll be challenged with high-quality, stimulating work.
White & Case offers several different practice areas, including debt finance, capital markets, and international arbitration. Rotating through four six-month seats, including one in finance, one overseas, and one contentious seat, you will work in diverse teams and explore various areas of the law, receiving plenty of responsibility from your first day.
White & Case is a “high-stretch, high-support” workplace that provides plenty of support and practical training to produce highly skilled lawyers. The firm is keen to recruit ambitious, globally-minded trainees who can work across borders and cultures. Aside from academic requirements, personal attributes are also important, with the firm looking for trainees with a drive to succeed, a client-focused attitude, and a team-driven approach to working.
With offices in 30 countries, White & Case's lawyers are incredibly diverse, and the firm is keen to celebrate these differences. Diversity initiatives include "The Global Women's Initiative," which encourages equal access for women to partnership and leadership roles, and regular activity programs such as Pride and Black History Month celebrations to celebrate colleagues of all backgrounds.
