Most people think of Linklaters as a leading global law firm. Which of course we are: our legal offering is second-to-none, we’ve achieved many great things in the field of law, and there is a strong collective desire across the firm to lead the way in our market.
But there is even more to us than legal expertise. We’re determined to build teams of the very best business services professionals anywhere, and we’re attracting and developing the brightest lights in marketing, finance, HR, strategy, know how, IS and operations. Because our vision goes beyond providing a world-class legal service: we’re set on becoming a world-class business. Our aim is to set the standards as a professional services firm, to offer the same high quality advice and service in every area of the firm, and to stand peer-to-peer with organisations of a similar kind in other industries.
This is not just a statement of intent. We have built a business that complements, reflects and adds value to our clients. And the success of our business depends on the whole approach of the firm: from the openness of our partners and the strength of our infrastructure to the speed of our response and the effectiveness of our teamwork.
In any global firm there are of course differences across the offices. Life would be boring without them. With so many different nationalities working across (and we do mean across) 23 countries, our culture is focused on being as inclusive as it is individual, as global as it is local. People share an ethos of hard work, excellence, innovation and accessibility. There is open and regular feedback. And we are committed to providing everyone in the firm with interesting work that stretches their professional skills, and to offering relevant stimulating training for all.
Wherever you work and in whatever country, you will find yourself amongst people that want to be the best in their field. People like you.
