The Interview Process
Corporate Technical Screen
Focuses intensely on public and private M&A, specifically deals spanning 3+ jurisdictions. You must prove you can run the deal, not just the data room.
Drafting / DD Reporting Scenario
E.g., 'Review a deeply flawed Due Diligence report from local counsel in a jurisdiction where the rule of law is weak. Synthesize the true commercial risk for our US Private Equity client.'
Partner Panel
Assessing your stamina and ability to remain commercially pragmatic when dealing with extremely chaotic emerging market transactions.
Real White & Case Interview Questions
Practice these exact questions faced by previous Associate (Corporate / Cross-Border M&A) candidates.
1(Matrix Execution) You are the lead associate advising a US sovereign wealth fund on the acquisition of a European telecom holding company with operating subsidiaries in 15 African nations. Walk me through your exact project management matrix for coordinating the colossal local regulatory due diligence (telecom licenses, antitrust, foreign investment) without letting the central SPA drafting schedule slip by a single day. (Global Project Management / M&A Execution)
2In a highly competitive auction process for a prime infrastructure asset, our client wants us to submit a 'Clean' bid. Walk me through the exact, bare-minimum legal protections you refuse to strip out of the SPA (e.g., Fundamental Warranties) versus the typical buyer protections you are willing to sacrifice (e.g., General Warranties) to win the auction. (Commercial Judgment / M&A Law)
3(Commercial Pragmatism) During due diligence for an acquisition in a high-risk emerging market, you uncover widespread use of 'facilitation payments' by the target's local sales team. The target claims this is absolutely standard local business practice. Walk me through how you advise the Buyer's board regarding the massive FCPA / UK Bribery Act risks, and how you legally structure the deal (e.g., specific indemnities vs. restructuring the asset perimeter) to isolate the liability. (Risk Mitigation / White Collar Law)
4A client is entering into a 50/50 Joint Venture with a massive State-Owned Enterprise (SOE) in the Middle East. Walk me through the severe corporate governance challenges of a 50/50 split and exactly how you draft the 'Deadlock Resolution' mechanisms (e.g., Russian Roulette, Texas Shootout) recognizing that the SOE will likely never agree to a forced sale of its stake. (Corporate Governance / Drafting)
5Tell me about a time an offshore local counsel completely failed to deliver a critical legal opinion just hours before a global closing, threatening the entire transaction sequence. How did you manage the crisis, appease the panicked client, and execute a mechanical workaround to close the deal? (Crisis Management / Execution)
