Working in the Czech Republic
With more than 2,000 lawyers in 44 offices in 30 countries, White & Case is a top-ranked global law firm. We were one of the very first international law firms to expand into the Czech Republic, establishing our Prague office in 1991.
Today, more than 50 lawyers and tax advisors work on a wide range of complex local and cross-border matters, drawing on our deep experience in national and international commercial law.

Having extremely capable and smart people creates an environment where lawyers are capable of incredible performance. And that's when we support them and give them the courage to do it.

New York Summer Secondment
Associates from our Prague office can work in our New York office as part of our New York Summer Secondment annual program. During their four-week stay, Prague associates are considered visiting lawyers and continue to work on their own matters originating in the Prague office.
Participants in the program will be invited to the various summer associate events, will have the opportunity to meet and network with their colleagues based in the New York office, and will get to see what it's like to work at our US headquarters. They will also have the opportunity to develop contacts with partners and senior lawyers and build an international network that will be valuable throughout their careers.

I was given a chance to experience first-hand our New York office. It was exhilarating to be a part of the team in the US and work alongside my colleagues.

White & Case Contemporary Art Program
The White & Case Contemporary Art Program consists of a series of art installations on the premises of our Prague office. Our objective has been to create a showcase for artworks both by established as well as up-and-coming local artists.

It gives me great pleasure that we are able to support contemporary Czech artists by giving them a forum in which to showcase their work to the broader public. This is about community, and about sharing the things we love and admire.

The current installation of contemporary art in the offices of the Prague branch of White & Case presents selected works by Pavel Šmíd, a leading Czech artist since the late 1990s. The works on display illustrate the artist’s focus on the visual exploration of memory - one of our main tools in how we construct identity -, its essence and its qualities.
