A great way to obtain firsthand experience of what life is like as a trainee at White & Case is through our internship program. We offer a small number of internship places in summer and winter each year for law students interested in applying for our training contract opportunities.
As an intern, you will work within a practice group alongside an associate and assist them with their work. Informal interactions with partners and associates will enable you to gain insight into White & Case and the structure of the training contract. You will also participate in various training sessions and workshops and receive continued support throughout your placement. Social events arranged during your internship will give you a great opportunity to build your professional network and get to know us on an informal level.

Reviews
I'm a graduate in the M&A and will be responsible for due diligence for a deal. Due diligence could include conducting relevant searches of the target company and review corporate documents.

Legal work - lots of client interaction and managing documents. No two days are the same.

Pros and cons of working at White & Case
Pros
Rewarding and challenging work means I'm learning every day, and the seniors have been happy to help at every turn
Quality of the work, exposure to industry-leading matters, ownership, and responsibility over the work.
I really enjoy the international aspect and being able to work with people globally.
The culture! People here are extremely friendly and willing to teach.
Lots of opportunity to take on real responsibility and speak directly with clients, from the very beginning.
Cons
Truly international law firm means that you may have to work outside normal hours, especially if you're working on projects with teams in Europe or the USA.
The hours can be long - especially on overseas deals.
There is minimal after hours interaction, perhaps both due to it being a smaller office in Sydney and due to the workload.
Bureaucracy
Can also be tough to organise outside activities, because everybody is on different schedules
