I liked that I was able to gain hands on experience into the issues White & Case lawyers handle everyday. This program also provided me the opportunity to test myself on if this is the type of work that I would want to become involved in during my career and it most certainly is. I am very thankful for the US Cross Border Program experience White & Case offers.

The whole experience was spot on. In particular, I liked attending the virtual audio conference and taking notes. It made me feel as though I was really part of the White & Case team on a specific assignment. The case that was provided for analysis and summary regarding IP sign off rights was practical and gave a very good experience of applying caseload to a current scenario at hand.
