White & Case has ended its contract with the University of Law.
The firm, which takes on approximately 30 trainees a year, will now send its GDL and LPC students a year to BPP.
White & Case is the latest firm to jump ship from ULaw to BPP. Allen & Overy, Clifford Chance, Baker & McKenzie, Osborne Clarke, DAC Beachcroft and DWF have all moved their students to ULaw's fiercest rival (and only rival, now that Kaplan's kaput). The sole Magic Circle firm still sending its students to ULaw is Linklaters.
ULaw's new owner, Aaron Etingen, may have hoped to stem the flow when he bought the legal education provider from Montagu this summer. And it did poach Shearman & Sterling from Kaplan earlier this year. But the exits continue: two weeks ago, just as ULaw's CEO and COO packed their bags, Dechert left for BPP.
There is a bright spot in the gloom. With Kaplan's demise, revealed by RollOnFriday, there are suddenly eight firms and a lot of students looking for a new home. Surely ULaw can pick up some of them.
It declined to comment.
