Job description

The training contract consists of four six-month seats, one of which is guaranteed to be spent in one of our overseas offices: Abu Dhabi, Doha, Dubai, Riyadh, Geneva, Helsinki, Madrid, New York, Paris, Singapore, Stockholm, Tokyo and Washington, DC. The remaining three seats can be spent in any of the Firm’s practice groups in London.

Trainees at White & Case will do high-quality, stimulating and rewarding work from day one, benefiting from extensive partner and associate contact. Our small, focused teams mean you’ll quickly become a trusted member of our team, and you can expect to take on significant responsibilities and deliver impactful results.

We are committed to your growth. Our ongoing training and development programs empower all trainees to reach their full potential and acquire the skills necessary to thrive as global lawyers. With plenty of support and regular feedback, trainees are always clear on how they can continue to grow as lawyers, build their network and seize the exceptional learning opportunities we provide.

White & Case is a ”high-stretch, high-support” environment that celebrates individual excellence and team success. We actively encourage trainees to take early responsibility and drive their own careers, emphasising practical training and continuous growth. Beyond your training contract, you’ll have the chance to get involved in our globally renowned pro bono program, often working directly with clients and managing small matters, gaining invaluable hands-on experience.

We are dedicated to recruiting and developing trainee solicitors with the goal of retaining them upon qualification, ensuring they become strong and successful lawyers.

What we are looking for

There’s no such thing as a typical White & Case lawyer. We seek ambitious trainees who possess an entrepreneurial mindset and a strong desire to gain hands-on practical experience from day one. You should have the ability to take charge of your own career and demonstrate a proactive approach to your development.

We value globally minded individuals who are eager to work across borders and cultures, and who are intrigued by solving complex problems within multiple legal systems.

A curiosity about the international commercial issues that our clients face is essential, as is an enthusiasm for addressing the most cutting-edge and complicated transactions.

We recruit both law and non-law students, and language skills are highly valued due to the nature of our work. Applicants will be welcomed for their individuality, their interest in the innovative work we do, and a proactive mindset that prioritises client needs.

Your interest in working at the forefront of commercial law will be crucial in navigating the complexities and challenges that define our projects.

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.
