Our values
Pioneering, united, human—these are the three values that shape our distinctive culture and differentiate us from others. They capture the unique spirit of our Firm, and guide the behaviours and actions that enable us to deliver on the promises we make to our clients and our people.
What our values mean for you and your career
Pioneering
We seize opportunities to innovate. We’re passionate about growth, and we accelerate careers with first-rate training and mentoring. So, you’ll learn from the very best legal minds in the industry.
United
We are One Firm with a shared sense of purpose. Our people develop meaningful relationships across the globe which gives them a valuable and trusted support network like nowhere else. It means that, at White & Case, you’re never alone.
Human
We care about each other and the world around us. We provide everyone with the opportunity and platform to do great work and own their future. It’s about empowering you to be the best you can be.
A Firm that welcomes everyone
Our work to recruit, support and develop people from underrepresented backgrounds has already made a difference, but we know that there is still much more to do.
As soon as you come through the doors, you’ll feel welcome and you’ll realise that the reality of working in a diverse firm is that everyone comes from different backgrounds. Everyone who works at White & Case is here on merit and because they deserve to be, irrespective of their background.
As someone who grew up in Australia and Japan and was always surrounded by people from all over the world, I knew that I thrived in a multicultural environment. So it was natural for me to feel most comfortable at a firm with diversity at its heart.
