How to apply
To apply for a training contract, first-year insight scheme, open day 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 14 July 2024.

What we’re looking for
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, Gemma Barns and Molly Hill, in confidence via phone +44 20 7532 2899 or email londontrainee@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.
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.
Meet the team
Want to know who'll be involved in your recruitment selection? Here you can put a face to the name before you meet them in an interview, on a vacation scheme, or at one of our open days.
