We're all incredibly excited about the new Launch into Law solicitor apprentice programme here in London. This is a fantastic opportunity for school leavers to start their career at a top global firm. We've worked hard to build a six-year degree apprenticeship programme that will give our solicitor apprentices all the skills, training and know-how they need to succeed as City lawyers.
Launch into Law is our solicitor apprenticeship programme. It's for bright, determined and confident school leavers who want to start their career at a leading global law firm without having to go to university.
Launch into Law is a degree apprenticeship (Level 7) that provides a mix of on-the-job learning and formal study. Over six years as a solicitor apprentice, you'll earn a salary while studying and get all the experience you need to make your mark as a lawyer at our Firm. We'll support you at every step to develop the professional and personal skills that will help you succeed. We know that the world of commercial law will be new to you, so we have built you a first-class support system. You’ll have a buddy, supervisor, partner, mentor and coaching opportunities to help you navigate, enjoy and thrive in your new career. We’ve developed a training and development programme across the six-year solicitor apprentice journey, so your on-the-job and classroom learning will be complemented with tailored training and skills sessions. Expect to build a fantastic network of friends and colleagues along the way, and to enjoy the social side of working at White & Case too. You'll graduate ready to start your career as a newly qualified associate, with unbeatable experience of working as a commercial lawyer in the City of London. The deadline to apply to our Solicitor Apprenticeship to start in September 2026 is 4 January 2026. We are also running a Solicitor Apprenticeship Open Day on 18 November 2025 and the deadline for applications is 2 November 2025. Please visit our website for more information.

Visit our websiteThis is a demanding job, no doubt. We all work hard and we are all driven, self-motivated people. But I can also tell you that you’ll make some of your best friends here, and there’s a lot to enjoy here outside of work too—we have a very active social committee. I’ve led the London choir since I came here—our annual carol service is a very special event! Whether you’re into badminton, live music, running, football or theatre, there’s a club or group for you.

Pioneering, United, Human—the values we live by at White & Case. These are our core values—concepts that reflect our history, shape our distinctive culture and differentiate us from others. They capture the unique spirit of our Firm, and guide the behaviours that enable us to deliver on the promises we make to our clients and our people.
