From day one, when you join the firm as an associate you will be recognised as a valued and crucial member of the team. You will be working directly with clients and senior Linklaters colleagues on highly complex, often ground-breaking cross-border transactions. With just the right level of support to ensure that you feel confident to take on the new challenges you are facing, you will grow in responsibility day by day. And the more responsibility you command; the more you’ll get.
You will be gaining an incomparable breadth of experience, due to the global context of the firm and the deals you will be working on. You will relish the teamwork across practices, borders and time zones and the rapid expansion of your knowledge and experience that this brings.
The secondments we offer outside our Brussels and Antwerp offices, whether with a client or in another Linklaters office, are especially valuable to enhance your experience and build relationships with colleagues across the firm.
We will support you through your bar exams and your pro-bono work, enabling you to work flexibly around your commitments. Team spirit is fostered and social connections are easily made at our weekend retreat for associates, our associate workshops and, it goes without saying, in our on-site bar.
