Global law firm White & Case is entering the solicitor apprenticeship market in 2025, driven by a focus on social mobility in its hiring strategy. The firm offers expertise in finance, dispute resolution, corporate, and energy & infrastructure, providing apprentices with significant cross-border and multijurisdictional experience. While the White & Case solicitor apprenticeship programme is still in development and the seat structure is yet to be confirmed, potential applicants should stay tuned to Legal Cheek for updates.
Choosing between university and a solicitor apprenticeship can be difficult. However, White & Case will ensure its apprentices don’t miss out on the social aspects of uni life. Sporty apprentices can join various clubs, including football, badminton, Pilates, and yoga. The firm has also reintroduced the W&C World Cup this year, held in Madrid, where football and volleyball teams from across the globe will compete for the trophies. All White & Case staff can either participate or spectate, offering apprentices a great opportunity to network and socialise with the firm’s global lawyer pool in the sun.
Firm-wide and team-wide socials are complemented by regular W&C Affinity Network events. These include the BAME LINK Affinity Network, the Spectrum LGBTQ+ Affinity Network, the Black Affinity Network, and over 25 local women’s networks. Apprentices have ample opportunities to engage with and contribute to their communities within the workplace.
White & Case is known for its bougie perks, and its swanky London offices offer more than just a sleek work environment. The Broad St Kitchen (BSK), the firm’s restaurant/café, provides unlimited free coffee, pastries, and three meals a day. BSK has recently been refurbished to include a separate restaurant section and a café-style space to encourage collaboration. Additionally, new employees receive an annual £500 wellbeing allowance and access to an on-site physio for regular massages, ensuring they are well taken care of.
