White & Case LLP reveals consistent retention rate

updated on 13 October 2025

Reading time: one minute

International law firm White & Case LLP has become one of the latest firms to announce its autumn trainee retention rate of 86%, having kept 19 out of its 22 newly qualified solicitors (NQs). This closely aligned with the firm’s 87% trainee retention figure in spring 2025 and its five-year average of 83%.

The NQ solicitors joined a wide range of practice areas including capital markets, construction, debt finance, financial restructuring and insolvency, international arbitration, mergers and acquisitions, project development and finance, and white collar crime.

Of these NQs, 17 are to join the firm’s London office, while two will be placed internationally in Helsinki and Singapore.

According to White & Case partner and head of the London trainee solicitor programme, Vicky Landsbert: "White & Case continues to be committed to providing trainees with an unmatched learning experience through working with globally renowned clients on complex and innovative cross-border matters".

Elsewhere, Eversheds Sunderland  LLP saw a change in its retention rate, going from 79%, in 2023 and 2024, to its latest figure of 67%.
