You'll get more from your training contract at Linklaters.
Join Linklaters and you become part of one of the world's most prestigious law firms –
a global network of exceptionally talented, highly motivated lawyers working as a team
and learning from one another to fulfil our ambition of becoming the premium global law
firm.
We are the only firm to have market-leading global teams across the full range of
corporate, finance and commercial practice areas. This, partnered with our culture of
innovation, teamwork and entrepreneurship, means that we have built strong
relationships with the world's leading companies, financial institutions and
governments and are asked to advise them on their most important and challenging
transactions and assignments.
Whether you are a law graduate, or a non-law graduate, your training contract is built
around six-month seats in four different practice areas. This will often include a seat
in one of our international offices or a client secondment. Each practice group has a
Group Trainee Solicitor Partner who is responsible for supporting and mentoring you as
you develop. There are also specific seminars and training modules during each seat
relevant to each practice area.
We will give you a real say in the sequence and content of your training, as well as
the flexibility to change your preferences as you go along. At key stages during your
training contract you will discuss your progress with the Trainee Development team
and draw up a plan for the remainder of your training.
Our training and development programme is widely acknowledged to be one of the best
of its kind in the world. Bringing substantial investment, an innovative approach,
an entrepreneurial focus and a global outlook to legal education, we've created a
career-long learning programme that is consistent across our global network and
uniquely focused on creating a new kind of international commercial lawyer. Over
two-thirds of our Trainees undertake an international or client secondment, meaning
that the experience gained by our lawyers is truly multi-dimensional.
