Our values

At White & Case, our culture comes to life through three core values:

 

Pioneering

We seize opportunities to innovate and grow.

In Manila, we innovate and continually streamline the way we work to enhance our services. This focus ensures we deliver top-notch results.

United

We are One Firm with a shared sense of purpose.

Our teams in Manila collaborate seamlessly, developing strong working relationships across different teams and offices worldwide, creating a dynamic and supportive work environment that allows our employees to reach their full potential. This shared sense of purpose helps us achieve our goals together.

Human

We care about each other and the world around us.

The Filipino culture of malasakit means we genuinely care for each other and our community. This deep sense of compassion guides our actions.

Working for positive change

In the Manila office, we inspire others by making a difference alongside those who are also making a difference. Volunteering is a fundamental aspect of our culture. By giving back to the community, we make a positive impact. Through volunteerism, we build stronger connections and create lasting change.

Established in 2015, DAMAYAN is the Manila office's foundation. We mobilize colleagues and partners across four pillars of impact: Education, Disaster Response, Special Causes, and School Repairs & Maintenance — putting care to work, strengthening community and making change possible. It starts with you.

 

Education

We help students thrive in safe, welcoming spaces and support their journey beyond the classroom. From improving school facilities to offering scholarship grants and workplace learning experiences, we create pathways for continued learning and growth.

Special Causes

We collaborate with mission-aligned organizations to expand dignity, access and opportunity — across justice, inclusion and livelihoods. Through survivor support, skills exposure and training, and inclusive sports and community programs, we help open doors to confidence, independence and belonging. Partners include International Justice Mission Philippines and Special Olympics Pilipinas.

Disaster Response

We act swiftly and meaningfully when disaster strikes. From delivering urgent aid to prepositioning supplies, we support affected communities in rebuilding lives with dignity and resilience.

School Repairs & Maintenance

We make sure past projects keep making a difference. Through regular upkeep and clear coordination with partner schools, we ensure facilities remain safe, useful and impactful for the long haul.
