Стажировка White & Case Summer Program в Москве

The cornerstone of our graduate recruitment efforts, this Program is designed to give Russian law students insight into what it's like to be a White & Case lawyer.
The Program is a structured and guided work-based learning program and it is tailored to make the most of your skills and ambition. Summer interns are matched with an associate advisor who acts as mentor. Interns are involved in actual client projects like legal research, due diligence, preparation of legal documents, as well as in a variety of activities and social events. Interns have the opportunity to work for two practice areas to broaden their experience. This on-the-job practice also includes a comprehensive orientation, regular training sessions and seminars.
Just as students experience real work as a summer intern, they enjoy being part of our team. Summer interns take part in several social functions where they have the chance to build greater rapport with peers, mentors and colleagues.

Since the opening of our Moscow office in 1991, White & Case has established itself as one of the leading law firms on the ground in Russia. With a team of more than 60 lawyers, including 13 partners, we advise on some of the most high-profile and innovative deals in Russia.
Our lawyers are qualified to practice law in Russia, England and Wales and the United States. This unique combination of Russian and internationally qualified lawyers on the ground in Moscow allows us to provide integrated advice for all of our client’s needs.
The quality of our advice consistently wins praise from clients and independent observers of the legal market in Russia, including Chambers, The Legal 500 and IFLR1000, which rank us in the top tiers across all key practice areas.
We have been a longtime supporter of legal education in Russia. We collaborate with leading universities to produce partner-led seminars, a hands-on summer internship program for university students and sponsorship of the Jessup program in Russia.
