At White & Case we are committed to the training and professional development of our
lawyers. Our goal is to ensure that our professional development efforts are aligned with
the Firm's objectives and the work demands and expectations of our lawyers to ensure that
our career development and training programs meet the needs of the individual, the rm
and our clients.
With these points in mind, we have developed the White & Case Professional Skills Institutea
training program designed to give associates the business and legal skills necessary for them to
succeed as effective practitioners at a global law rm.
The Professional Skills Institute serves as an umbrella for all of White & Case's training courses
where the participants are drawn from more than one ofce, ensuring an organized approach to our
professional development activities and providing opportunities for associates from different ofces
and practice areas to meet each other and train together early in their careers.
The Professional Skills Institute's initiatives follow three distinct but interrelated tracks:
Orientation Programs are held annually in New York and Bruges for junior associates from
the Americas and the EMEA/Asia Pacic regions respectively. We also run regular induction
programs for laterally hired associates within these regions. Running separate events for the
Americas and EMEA/Asia Pacic allows us the opportunity to tailor the programs to reect the
training needs of associates from different legal traditions. These programs provide a
comprehensive introduction to the rm and its history, culture and ethics, as well as an
appreciation of what it takes to succeed in a global law rm, particularly the ability to work
successfully with clients and lawyers from different cultural backgrounds.
Business Skills Programs help associates to develop key skills that are essential for the
successful lawyer in today's competitive environment, such as showing commercial
awareness, making effective presentations, and winning and retaining clients. We work hard to
harness internal best practice with the expertise of selected external consultants to provide
tailored, hands-on training programs in the following key areas:
The Commercial Understanding Program offers associates a thorough understanding of
the commercial considerations that underlie the typical transactions encountered in our
practice.
The Communication Skills Program helps associates develop the interpersonal skills that
are so crucial for success, such as inuencing, presentation and communication.
The Negotiation Skills Program allows associates to develop their expertise in a series of
highly practical case studies.
The Business Development Program looks at developing the skills required to market
effectively to both existing and potential clients.
