Description

About Linklaters
Linklaters are a people business. Being best in class in the eyes of our clients means that our people must be exceptional.


We look not only for brilliant minds, but for people who will thrive in our environment: people who love working collaboratively and demonstrate the innovative, efficient, agile, entrepreneurial and responsible mind-set we aim to bring to every interaction.

Ours is an environment of outperformance. We achieve this not with targets and incentives, but by fostering a positive, supportive, fair and open atmosphere.

We respect and value difference but insist on inclusivity.

We celebrate all aspects of diversity and challenge any form of bias, because we want everyone to feel that they belong.

This is vital to our ability to work as one team, with a common mind-set.

We recognise that one size does not fit all.

Our goal is to embed flexibility across our firm by giving everyone the opportunity to work in an agile way, whether as a regular pattern or on an ad hoc basis, and we will be happy to discuss this further.
