As a firm, White & Case has been around for a long, long time. But we’ve only been the firm we are right now for about 20 years.

What does that mean? To speak of White & Case today is to speak of the extraordinary vision of Jim Hurlock. As far back as the late 70’s, White & Case, under his leadership, made the decision to become the global law firm. Not just international, but locally based, locally staffed and globally networked.

Our extraordinary success is testament to this vision––double digit growth in every significant metric for nearly a decade.

We don’t have a few lawyers in associated firms handling U.S. client business. We have 37 fully staffed offices, most often the leading if not one of the top firms in every city––local hires handling local clients as well as multinationals. Our clients walk into any office around the world, and they’re walking into the same firm––the same expertise, level of service and attention to detail. We’re on the ground, watching everyone else try to catch up.

Business is global; economies are global; our clients are global. Not to be a serious global contender is to invite irrelevance––three quarters of our major clients require 10 or more of our offices to handle their global needs.

For you, our international leadership means exposure to the kinds of opportunities you won’t get anywhere else––cross-border projects, working with sovereigns, international postings and rotations. Opportunities to learn, grow and succeed. The door’s wide open.
