White & Case is an elite global law firm serving leading companies, financial institutions and governments worldwide. Our long history as an international firm means we are perfectly placed to help our clients resolve their most complex legal challenges wherever they may be.

With lawyers operating from more than 40 locations, working in virtually every country of the world, we have invested heavily in building a high-quality full-service practice competing at the top of the market. We are distinguished by our on-the-ground presence in the world’s key financial markets and our strengths in handling complex cross-border work.

It’s not just about our global network of offices; it’s the global interconnectedness of the Firm that our people, and our clients, value most. We work well together across geographic and practice boundaries. It’s one of the reasons we attract and retain cross-border work. And why we attract a diverse group of people.

Our lawyers are globally minded, enterprising, collaborative and committed to excellence. Diversity is a core value of our Firm and it has been recognized with numerous awards and top rankings around the world. Our people represent 90 nationalities and speak 80 languages.

The midlevel associate primarily will be engaged in conducting internal investigations and compliance work, and will assist with complex commercial litigation issues; there will also be a strong BD prospect for this role.

The White Collar practice handles a wide range of multijurisdictional legal matters, addressing the risks arising from investigations and enforcement actions. With our global footprint, experience and skill, we provide comprehensive representation and advice to clients facing exposure to civil and criminal liability.

From the moment you join us, you will be working alongside leading practitioners in the field, including former regulators and prosecutors from an array of international agencies. The work is challenging and stimulating, frequently involving high-profile cross-border matters, with high stakes for the parties involved.

As part of a small practice, you will be given considerable responsibility from an early stage—managing large volumes of information and multiple workstreams, and taking a lead on key investigative tasks, including interviewing witnesses. In addition to working on large-scale investigations, you will also undertake shorter advisory projects, such as conducting due diligence reviews, designing compliance programs and drafting and delivering trainings.

As one of only a few associates within the group, we are committed to providing you with the hands-on experience and specialist training needed to become an exceptional practitioner, and to support our goal of offering clients a truly outstanding service.
