Our Global Vision.

We are a truly global law firm – in business to meet the complex needs of the world’s top clients. Our global capabilities give us access to the most interesting markets, the most prominent clients and the most exciting deals. As emerging markets such as Brazil, Russia, India and China present new business opportunities for our clients, we make it our business to be there to help. It gives our people the opportunity to connect with a diverse range of international colleagues and clients on a daily basis.

Global capability is not simply about having offices in all the right places; it is the ability to deploy exactly the right mix of people to meet the specific needs of a particular client, irrespective of location. This gives our Trainees a richness of experience and opportunity that is genuinely unique.

Linklaters is the proving ground for a new breed of commercial lawyers who work seamlessly across jurisdictions. Wherever they are based, they make things happen, set new standards and push boundaries. Working on challenging transactions and assignments for many of the world’s leading companies, financial institutions and government organisations, we produce innovative and often groundbreaking cross-border solutions. Doing so takes cultural sensitivity, empathy and a good deal of flexibility. The personal and professional rewards are immense – real influence, fascinating challenges and an incredible sense of achievement.

International experience is good for the individual and it is good for the firm. It helps people build relationships and forge contacts. It increases cultural flexibility and client focus. And it broadens the mind – helping our people to develop their creative and entrepreneurial spirit.

Of course, having a global outlook means embracing a global culture. If you want to create a business that works smoothly across jurisdictions, markets and sectors, you need highly-skilled and knowledgeable individuals to connect with each other. So a friendly and supportive working environment is a key component of our business strategy, allowing us to create teams that can take on the world’s biggest legal challenges. Together we can fulfil our ambition to become the leading global law firm.
