The theory of law is one thing, but the reality can be very different. That’s why junior associates joining our Madrid office have a key advantage at their disposal – our rotational seat system.
When you join, we’ll give you the opportunity to spend six months in each of our practice areas: corporate, finance and commercial – with immediate access to partners, counsel, associates, managing associates and clients.
The seat system that we offer is the most powerful way of knowing whether a practice area is right for you. It also allows everyone involved to make an informed decision about which area your talents are best suited to.
At Linklaters, the reality is that you’ll be working on real deals from day one. The transactions are very varied; working across borders is standard and we really rely on people who can start strongly and learn very quickly.
You’ll be simultaneously challenged and empowered from the outset. If you’re globally minded, focused on quality, and determined to succeed, many opportunities are open to you. To help you along the way, we will support you through your bar exams and pro-bono work, enabling you to work flexibly around your commitments. Whichever direction you want to take, your tenacity and commitment will be matched by the firm’s constant support and deep desire for you to realise your full potential.
