Clearly, working in our Greater China offices demand a huge commitment, a high level of intensity and – typically – a major geographical upheaval. In return, we do everything we can to provide our Asian lawyers with a mixture of financial rewards and ‘softer’ benefits so that your time with us is as professionally and emotionally fulfilling as possible. International colleagues have the chance to build social networks easily and quickly; Chinese nationals can enjoy activities that fall outside of their normal cultural environment.
Linklaters’ culture provides international and Chinese professionals with a fabulous arena to develop their expertise, alongside a social environment that encourages entertainment and adventure. Many deals are completed outside the nine-to-five (due to time differences) so we make a point of supporting each other when things get tough, and showing our recognition wherever possible.
If you’re ready to work in a fast-moving, non-bureaucratic office; to get swept up in a entrepreneurial culture that mirrors the freshness of the Asian marketplace; to work with a fiercely determined, talented team that supports other offices across Asia - this could be the ideal opportunity.
