Linklaters' development has always been in response to the commercial needs of its clients - major corporations, banks, financial institutions and governments. As the City of London has become increasingly important to these organisations, so we have expanded our London capabilities to cater for their needs.

We have also built on the cross-border experience of our UK lawyers and, by integrating multi- practice teams from other Linklaters offices around the world, we offer a service that we believe is unique in the City of London.

Unusually for a City law firm, we combine core businesses - all of which are leaders in their fields - in corporate, international finance, commercial real estate and litigation.
