Working at White & Case

A central aspect of our business and our work, as derived from the needs of our clients, is the firm's people. In every project we participate and in every transaction we assist, every second constitutes a moment of truth where the standard of White & Case is and must be provided to the clients. Accordingly, every lawyer at White & Case bears an individual responsibility for the success of the firm and consequently, has the opportunity to contribute to the firm and its clients in every venture undertaken.

Being a truly international firm, not only in terms of offices but also in terms of clients and assignments, naturally affects the working environment for the firm's lawyers. The larger part of the work performed by our lawyers will therefore have international features and each lawyer will contribute to the worldwide White & Case community. As a consequence, White & Case is dedicated to finding and retaining people who can make a difference to our clients and to our firm.

Needless to say, we believe that working at White & Case is highly demanding. But it is also professionally rewarding and lets you learn and grow while being part of a great global legal team.

Associate

Our requirements for associates are extensive but not carved in stone; we evaluate every applicant individually based on our needs from time to time. Based on the expectations on each lawyer employed by White & Case we have identified some general characteristics that we consider to be essential for the performance of each lawyer:

a distinguished Swedish or foreign law degree;
excellent legal and analytical skills, particularly in the areas of corporate law, civil law and litigation; and
court experience, studies abroad, language skills and other relevant education or work experience.

Trainee

White & Case seeks to continuously have 2-3 trainees employed at the Stockholm office. Trainees are hired for a shorter period of time and are expected to pursue further experience, e.g. within the court system or advanced studies abroad. However, we strive to maintain the relations with our trainees after the end of the trainee period which, in some cases, may lead to discussions about permanent employment.

The assignments and responsibilities of our trainees are in all essential aspects equivalent to those of a newly hired first year associate.

Summer Associate

White & Case's Stockholm office offers law students a possibility to gain experience and training from an international law firm through summer internships. We normally employ four to six law students per summer as summer associates. Each summer associate is employed for a six-week period during either the early or the late part of the summer. The assignments and responsibilities of a summer associate are similar to those of a newly hired trainee or first year associate.

Law students interested in a position as a summer associate should have finished their third year at law school to be able to benefit from the training. The Applications for positions as a summer associates will be reviewed in the light of our general requirements as described under the Associate section.

We recruit summer associates continuously. Applications for a position as a summer associate can be sent to us from December and onwards.
