We recruit the majority of our London trainees (on average 80 percent) from our vacation schemes, with 25 participants in each intake. There’s no limit on how many training contracts we offer per scheme, so you won’t be in competition with your peers.

- Explore practice areas: Gain a comprehensive understanding of what different practice areas do, their significance and why clients seek our expertise in these fields.
- Interactive learning: Take part in sessions like our 'Carousels' with associates and formal presentations from partners and senior lawyers.
- Expert guidance: Learn directly from partners about the business of law, gaining valuable insights into navigating the complex legal landscape and building a successful legal career.
- Support network: You’ll have a dedicated supervisor and buddy to guide you daily and assign meaningful work.
- Social events: Enjoy social activities, including lunches with your supervisor and buddy, and fun activities such as visiting the iconic sites of London!
- Networking: Build professional and personal networks that will benefit your career, interacting with people across the Firm.
- Feedback: Receive feedback and advice on your work and performance.
Wherever your career takes you, we guarantee you’ll build skills and gain experiences on the vacation scheme that will last a lifetime. Seize this opportunity to kickstart your legal career and see first-hand what makes our Firm an exceptional place to work and succeed.
What we are looking for
There’s no such thing as a typical White & Case lawyer. We recruit ambitious trainees who have a desire to gain hands-on practical experience from day one and a willingness to take charge of their own career. We value globally minded people who are eager to work across borders and cultures, are intrigued by solving problems within multiple legal systems and have an understanding of international commercial issues
We recruit both law and non-law students and, owing to the nature of our work, language skills are highly valued. Applicants will be welcomed for their individuality, their enthusiasm for the cutting-edge work we do and having a positive, proactive mindset that puts our clients first.
Potential trainees should have achieved, or be on track to achieve, a solid 2:1, have a positive attitude, be enthusiastic and work well as part of a team.
