The AllAboutLaw Perspective
With offices across 21 jurisdictions, Linklaters is a leading global law firm with a strong reputation. Trainees work on market-leading, pioneering deals across the firm’s leading practices in Corporate, Finance and Litigation, Arbitration and Investigations. There’s even the opportunity to go on an international secondment in areas like Tokyo and Dubai or a client secondment with companies like Credit Suisse and Citibank.
As a trainee at Linklaters, you’ll be right in the heart of the action. While many assume they’ll be a cog in the wheel, one trainee has had ‘lots of responsibility from the start’, and her ‘contributions are very important’. Instead of completing mundane administrative tasks, you’ll spend your time meeting with associates and partners, drafting critical documents and even running smaller transactions.
Linklaters are always keen to look towards the future and are passionate about innovation. The firm has a number of Legal Tech teams, who evaluate internal processes and systems, and deploy some of the most exciting new technologies from the market. Linklaters even have their own in-house start-up, CreateiQ, which is transforming the future of contract management.
Work-life balance is important at Linklaters, with the firm organising a number of social events and clubs. Linklaters has over 18 sports and social clubs, including yoga, netball and an award-winning choir. Groups organise bake-offs, away days and even ski trips, with a dedicated Trainee Social Committee to organise social events for trainees. Finally, to support and empower underrepresented groups, Linklaters has a range of employee-led networks, such as the Gender Equality Network and With Pride and Allies Networks.

To develop our exceptional talent, we are committed to providing world-class training and practical experience alongside support, mentorship and coaching.
