Application Process

Our application process works both ways. More than just a chance for us to understand your experience, expertise and ambitions, it’s also an opportunity for you to decide whether Linklaters is the right fit for you.

We value Business Professionals with deep expertise in their field, sound judgement and a collaborative approach. People who take ownership, adapt to change and bring fresh thinking to the way we work. Throughout the process, we encourage you to ask questions, get to know us and explore where your experience and ambitions could lead at Linklaters.

The Process

Submit your application

Apply for a Business Professional role through our online careers portal, either directly or through a recruitment agency. You’ll need to submit your CV as part of your application.

All applications must be made through the portal. If you have any questions about a Business Professional vacancy, please contact our Business Teams Recruitment team rather than individual Partners or other colleagues at Linklaters.

Application review

Our Recruitment team will review your CV and, if your experience matches what we’re looking for, we’ll arrange an informal conversation about the role. It’s a chance for us to learn more about you and for you to ask questions and decide whether you’d like to continue with your application.

Your application will then be reviewed by the relevant hiring manager. If successful, you’ll be invited to interview.

Interviews

The interview process varies depending on the role, and we’ll talk you through what to expect beforehand. At least one interview will take place in person, giving you the opportunity to meet members of the team and experience our office for yourself.

Our Recruitment team will be there to support you throughout the process.

Feedback

Once your interviews are complete, we’ll call you to talk through the outcome and provide feedback on your interview.
