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.
