White & Case is one of the most globally diversified US firms and has one of the largest London offices of any American firm, with over 400 lawyers. The firm is a dominant force in international arbitration, project finance and emerging markets work. Its London office regularly handles deals and disputes that span multiple continents and legal systems.
Culture & Values
White & Case guarantees every London trainee an international secondment, usually taken in the fourth seat, in one of its offices around its 40-plus-country network. The international arbitration practice is a particular draw (trainees call the seat the most intense), and seats in Paris across capital markets, arbitration and asset finance see trainees treated much like associates. With over 400 lawyers in London, it runs one of the larger and better-structured US-firm trainee programmes in the City.
