Social at White & Case
Our Berlin office recently had the pleasure of hosting an event for the research assistants of Humboldt University Berlin at the Boros Collection, a fascinating private collection of contemporary art showcasing works by international artists from 1990 to the present day.

Following an engaging guided tour of the exhibition, the PhD students joined us for dinner, where they had a wonderful opportunity to network with each other and our lawyers. Thank you to all attendees for making this event so joyful!

#TogetherWeMakeAMark This past month, our Berlin, Dortmund and Leipzig offices participated in the second annual four-week wellness challenge, "White & Case Spring, Health & Wellness Weeks." Over 80 employees participated, getting fit for spring and raising donations for mental health and other charitable organizations.

This year’s theme was "Mindfulness," encouraging employees to not only engage in physical exercise but also practice mindfulness in both their personal and professional lives. The inspiring weeks featured a variety of activities, including sports competitions, mindfulness exercises, life-kinetics training and healthy beverages.

A big thank you to everyone who participated! We look forward to more wellness experiences that support both physical and mental health.

#TogetherWeMakeAMark #Mindfulness #MentalHealth Our Hong Kong office recently partnered with Hongkong Land, Women in Central and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan (Ontario Teachers') to host an inspiring panel on the importance of wellbeing in high-pressure workplaces.

Our panelists—Jaimie Cheung from Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, Philip Hu from Primavera Capital, Dr. George Lee, a clinical psychologist and lecturer at the University of Hong Kong, and White & Case Tokyo partner Clara Shirota—shared their insights and strategies for balancing demanding careers with personal and professional responsibilities. The key takeaways emphasized the importance of focusing on the present, understanding your motivations, accepting uncertainty, recognizing that it’s okay to not be okay and the profound strength in asking for help.

In high-pressure careers, the challenge of maintaining wellbeing is unique and significant. Our discussion highlighted that prioritizing mental health and wellbeing can transform not only our professional lives but also our personal journeys.

#TogetherWeMakeAMark #whitecase The Firm recently supported another successful year of the White & Case Jessup International Rounds in Washington, DC. 161 teams from 88 jurisdictions participated, making it the largest in-person competition in Jessup history.

Following a week of competitive matches, Singapore Management University won the White & Case Jessup Cup in a Final Round against Ukraine’s National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. Nearly 9,500 people in person and online watched the teams in the final round argue before three current and past members of the International Court of Justice: Judge Joan Donoghue, Judge Juan Manuel Gomez Robledo and Judge Georg Nolte.

"Watching the final round of the Jessup Competition was an absolute privilege—I was deeply impressed by the advocacy, preparation and poise demonstrated by both teams," said Firm Chair Heather McDevitt, a former Jessup competitor herself.

During the International Rounds, we also hosted a Career Panel featuring past Jessup competitors who now work in various practices across the Firm. Following an opening discussion, panelists split into breakout rooms to have conversations with students, accompanied by additional White & Case former competitors.

Congratulations to the winning team and all who participated! Learn more about it via the link in our bio.
