Six themes of attraction

Ambition:
A clear sense of direction.

Our vision for the future is not just rhetoric: we have a record of setting ourselves stretch targets and then surpassing them. We know where we’re going and how we’re going to get there. Our aspirations as a firm are closely bound up with the ambitions of the people who help us deliver our strategy.

Opportunity:
Global exposure and entrepreneurial development opportunities.

We actively seek to work with leading global clients on their most difficult and challenging assignments, and find solutions to their problems. Doing complex business is explicitly what we are about.

Challenge:
Intellectually challenging and rewarding work.

Linklaters is uniquely equipped to advise on complicated cross-border deals that involve many different jurisdictions. We work with multi-national clients who require consistent, high-quality legal advice right across the world, and we are an active market innovator. We offer global opportunities because we are a truly global law firm.

Learning:
Top quality training and career development

To deliver consistently excellent advice to our clients, we depend on having expert lawyers who are at the very top of their game and who seek continual self-improvement. This doesn’t happen by chance but depends on world-class training and development programmes, supported by the most sophisticated knowledge management systems.

Teamwork:
Talented colleagues and a friendly, collaborative culture

When we call a colleague in another office, practice area or country, we know we’ll be speaking to someone who shares the same vision and values. We are confident in each other’s ability and we know that if we ask for help, we’ll get it. As you might imagine, a friendly, professional culture is incredibly productive.

Meritocracy:
Rewarding and promoting people entirely on merit

There is a strong correlation between the global strategy of our firm and the ambitions of the people who make it happen. We reward and promote people entirely on merit; by recognising and celebrating high performance, we create a culture of entrepreneurial drive and cultural diversity.
