How to apply

To apply for an open day, solicitor apprenticeship, training contract, university insight scheme or vacation scheme, start your online application here.

For our two-year training contracts, you can apply through the vacation scheme route which is how we recruit the majority of our London trainees (approximately 80 percent).

Applications for vacation schemes are reviewed on a rolling basis. Alternatively, you can apply for a place at a training contract assessment centre for which applications are reviewed after the deadline of 10 May 2026.

Need additional support?

We know that some talented future lawyers need extra support during the application and interview process. We want to hear from you, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch to discuss your requirements.

You can contact our Disability and Support Champions, in confidence via phone +44 20 7532 2899 or email londonearlycareers@whitecase.com.

Keep in touch

It can seem like a long time between receiving your offer for a training contract and your start date. That’s why we encourage all our future trainees to join us at our social and networking events before their first day. The Early Careers Development team will be in touch with these.

Join one of our sports teams, come along to our winter ball, university dinner or an event hosted by one of our affinity groups. You’ll receive a detailed calendar of events with your contract.
