June 2025: Our 2025 summer associates have started at all eight of our US offices. Before the summer class gathered in New York for Launch Your Career week, here's what they told us about the recruitment process so far and what they're looking forward to over the summer.
The recruitment process
"A standout moment from my interview process was realizing how genuine and approachable everyone I met was. From networking events to interviews, everyone at White & Case has been easy to talk to and connect with, which made the entire experience feel enjoyable and comfortable."
Caroline Anderson, Los Angeles office
"I'm excited to join a team that has consistently been one of the kindest and most supportive groups of people I've ever encountered. Everyone I've met at White & Case so far has been incredibly welcoming, and I look forward to contributing positively to such a dynamic and collaborative environment."
Celine Sawiris, New York office
"The callback interview really felt more like a dialogue or a conversation as opposed to a test or self-pitch. My interviewers were genuinely interested in getting to know me as a comprehensive human being rather than another candidate on paper, and were enthusiastic of the unique experience that I brought to the table."
Jules Lee, Washington, DC office
"I knew I wanted to join White & Case when I saw how much they truly cared about me during the recruitment process. The recruitment team and attorneys were always checking in, always available to answer questions, and truly made me feel wanted and valued."
Grant McCoy, Houston office
Returning as a 2L
"There is no doubt in my mind that I wanted to join White & Case after spending my first summer at White & Case in Houston last summer. Everyone at the Houston office was so helpful, intelligent and friendly, enabling me to take on far more substantiative projects than I would have ever thought a 1L summer could experience. Meshing so easily with the associates and partners in and out of the office made joining again for 2L summer a no-brainer."
Jacob Files, Houston office
Looking ahead to the White & Case Summer Program
"I'm excited to learn from seasoned attorneys, tackle complex transactions and perhaps discover some hidden food gems with colleagues during lunch breaks."
Andrew Dooyoung Jeong, New York office
"Working alongside attorneys and professionals from across the globe is an incredible and unique opportunity."
Samantha Mendez, Miami office
"I knew I wanted to join White & Case when I recognized its truly global presence and the unique opportunity to work on complex cross-border matters. Engaging in such transactions not only enhances professional growth by navigating diverse regulatory frameworks but deepens my understanding of cultural and market dynamics on a global scale."
Zhe Yuan Tan, New York office
"I'm excited to collaborate with colleagues from diverse backgrounds on high-stakes deals, solving unique challenges in a fast-paced and dynamic environment."
Blake Pulley, New York office
