Trainee Solicitor 2022/2023
Overview
The training contract consists of four six-month seats, one of which is guaranteed to be spent in one of our overseas offices, including Abu Dhabi, Beijing, Brussels, Dubai, Frankfurt, Geneva, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, Moscow, New York, Paris, Prague, Singapore, Stockholm and Tokyo. The remaining three seats can be spent in any one of the Firm’s practice groups in London. Receiving a high level of partner and associate contact from day one, our trainees can be confident that they will receive high-quality, stimulating and rewarding work. Trainees will be assisting with (under supervision) various client matters requiring legal advice and the undertaking of legal services. Trainees will undertake research, as and when requested, and provide briefings on legal issues. Trainees will represent the Firm and the client at meetings, hearings and tribunals (where appropriate), including providing advocacy and case management. Trainees will attend training as required by the Firm and the Solicitors Regulation Authority. Our trainees work in small, focused teams, so their colleagues trust them to perform tasks accurately and efficiently. We actively encourage our trainees to take early responsibility, and there is a strong emphasis on practical training, with plenty of support and feedback. Alongside the training contract, our trainees are encouraged to get involved in all aspects of our globally-renowned pro bono programme, often working directly with clients and even managing small matters. White & Case recruits and develops trainee solicitors with the aim of retaining them on qualification. Applications open on 1 October 2019 and close on 15 July 2020.
