September 2025:  Thanks to all the smart, talented and enthusiastic future lawyers who joined our eight US offices for our 2025 Summer Associate Program. Here's what they had to say about their time at the Firm.

On our culture...

"The Firm's culture is extremely friendly and open... Everyone I met was willing to talk with me and serve as mentors in my journey."

"Throughout my summer I have felt so much support, and I feel very lucky that I had the chance to work with so many knowledgeable and kind people."

"The people at White & Case are the strongest asset to the Firm. I feel at home at work, and I feel that I can bolster my skills in a welcoming environment."

On the work... 

"The work is challenging, intellectually interesting and evolving. I feel like I am at a modern firm that is ready for the future."

"White & Case definitely gives substantive work and treats their summer associates as first-year associates... we leave with a real picture of what our lives would look like as White & Case associates."

"The work was fast-paced and meaningful from the start. It wasn't filler; I felt like I was contributing to real, high-stakes issues that had both legal and business impact."

On pro bono assignments...

"Extremely pro bono-friendly firm that gave me ample opportunity to work on pro bono matters."

"I definitely left with the impression that pro bono is valued here and available to whoever wants it."

"I got to work on a really interesting project that aligned with my interest, and I had a great team!"

On working in a global firm...

"Very international and global — lawyers and clients alike come from around the globe. Fantastic place to work at for globally minded, aspiring lawyers."

"One of the things that stood out to me was just how genuinely global White & Case is. It's not just marketing speak; you really feel it in the day-to-day. Whether it's working with people from different offices or being staffed on cross-border matters, the international scale is baked into everything."

"I had first-hand involvement in a cross-border deal that involved communicating with local counsel in multiple offices across the world—it is truly a global firm."

On the social side of summer associate life...

"Definitely the most fun work events I've ever been to!"

"I loved the social events; they were all so good for getting to know people."

"The events were enjoyable and well organized, and I truly appreciate that lawyers took the time to attend so we could get to know them better."

…and finally, what was unexpected about their Summer Program experience

"The level of back-and-forth communication with offices across the US and with international offices was beyond expectation. This meant that the summer associates I met during the orientation will be part of the network that I will work with in the future, which was a pleasant surprise."

"How down to earth everyone truly is. I thought the Firm would be a more competitive environment, but it felt very collaborative."

"I was pleasantly surprised by how approachable and supportive the lawyers are across all levels."

"People were invested in our growth as we start our legal careers."
