Sorry to hear. Could you please share the detailed criteria?
As a minimum, successful applicants must have an excellent academic record, a demonstrated commercial and legal interest and awareness, a good eye for detail and accuracy, and an ability to write clearly and succinctly. We are also looking for people who are self-motivated, successful team members with leadership qualities. On top of this, some applicants are able to offer other skills, knowledge or experience over and above that offered by other candidates, which are particularly relevant to our business e.g. previous relevant work experience or language skills. The above criteria is by no means exhaustive but we hope this offers some useful guidance on our selection criteria.

Has anyone heard anything? Been a long time 😭
I believe they've started to respond to candidates this week. I had a TI earlier this week and I know of one other person who did too. They've reiterated that they are incredibly busy trying to get through all applications AND have recruited additional personnel to expedite the application review process. Hopefully within the next two weeks there should be an update across the board. Good luck :)

    Hi everyone!


    Does anyone know what the online assessment for White & Case looks like? I heard about that it is a game based type but not 100% sure. Also, is there any preparation I can do to increase my chances of securing an interview with them?

    Thank you so much!!!
