Thanks! Actually, what I was really wondering is how the Finance seat works at White & Case and what kind of tasks trainees usually get.

Do trainees rotate across all Finance subgroups, or can they choose a specific seat like funds or finreg? And if they can, what kind of work do they usually do at White & Case? For example, due diligence in PE but not in funds or finreg, drafting of side letters or subscription documents for investors, etc.

I know that in the Capital Markets seat, W&C trainees work across all subgroups including DCM, ECM, and structured finance. But I could not find much about whether the mandatory Finance seat works the same way. I guess it doesn't, since some trainees put in the Linkedin investment funds as one of their seats, but it doesn't hurt to ask here.

Maybe [USER=36740]@Amma Usman[/USER] and [USER=36777]@Andrei Radu[/USER] can share some insights from working in US firms or writing the PE guide.
