GCC English Law Trainee Program – Spring Vacation Scheme 2025

White & Case consistently ranks as one of the premier law firms operating in the Middle East. We have advised on some of the country's most significant energy and infrastructure projects and high-profile capital markets and corporate M&A deals, working alongside leading government-owned enterprises and international clients.

We aim to recruit for our training program through our vacation schemes, which is also an opportunity for you to find out if we are the right firm for you. You will have the opportunity to undertake meaningful work alongside leading lawyers in their field in one of the three locations offering our GCC English Law Trainee Program, as well as take part in learning sessions to discover more about the Firm.

Vacation scheme participants will be paid a competitive stipend to cover expenses during the program.

The application process for our vacation schemes will include the following steps:

  • Online application form

  • Video interview submission

  • Interview and written assessment

Successful candidates will be offered a place on the vacation scheme during which there will also be various assessment points, including interviews, various individual and group exercises, set work tasks and feedback from the business.

Candidates who are successful in areas of the assessment will be offered a place on the trainee program.

What we’re looking for

We don't look for one type of person. In fact, we actively seek out people with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences to join our equally diverse global teams. Yet there are some attributes that are important to us. Here’s how you know you belong at White & Case:

  • Academic qualifications: minimum of AAB at A levels, IB minimum 38 points (or equivalent) and 2:1 or above (actual or predicted) in undergraduate degree (or equivalent).

  • Fluent in written and spoken Arabic required.

  • Strong ties to the Middle East and a genuine interest in and commitment to pursuing a career in law in the Middle East region are essential.
