Linklaters’ position as one of the world’s premier law firms allows us to offer our U.S. associates challenging work and global exposure, wherever they are based.
Many of the deals we carry out are the first of their kind, which gives our attorneys the chance to quickly build the skills and expertise our clients demand. Experienced attorneys are given early high-level responsibility on groundbreaking, complex international and domestic transactions and litigation.
Attorneys at Linklaters also benefit from a supportive and friendly working atmosphere, with an entrepreneurial spirit and freedom not usually found in a law firm environment. We have a number of programs designed to help our attorneys succeed, including everything from ongoing, formal training sessions to a mentoring program and client secondment opportunities around the world. We work hard to provide the right mix of training and client-facing work to help your reach your potential at every stage of your career.
What we look for
We look for people who can make the most of everything Linklaters has to offer: people who will work hard, learn quickly and take responsibility early. You will need analytical intelligence, a high level of attention to detail, and the people skills required to work well with both colleagues and clients. Finally, because our client base includes many of the world’s top businesses and institutions, it is important to have a genuine interest in business and the financial world. We look for attorneys who not only service clients, but who also exhibit a high level of commercial awareness in a global context.
