You'll need a strong academic record, an excellent degree (2.1 or higher from a highly rated university in a Common law jurisdiction).
The important thing to remember is that selection is a two-way process. We read every application with great care and we work hard to make the right decisions at every stage. While we are finding out about you and whether you have what it takes to be a great lawyer, you should be finding out about us too. You need to be satisfied that law is the right career, and Linklaters the right firm, for you.
The application process covers broadly the same ground whether you join via a vacation scheme or apply directly for a training contract. The initial selection process for either route lasts about three hours.
If you are accepted for a vacation scheme, you don’t have to apply again and you are automatically entitled to an interview for a training contract. This happens at some point towards the end of the vacation scheme, and lasts about 45 minutes.
