Being larger than the average Business Services team at Linklaters, we not only provide support to the Hong Kong office, but the wider Asian network – so there’s every chance to gain exposure of the bigger picture. Always busy, always challenging, there’s a real diversification of work and the well-developed people resources to handle it. Days can be planned, but it’s essential that we accommodate sudden changes and requests from lawyers at a moment’s notice. The only way we’ll achieve that is through a flexible and responsive team. It’s a real test of determination, expertise and mental agility.
The hours can be tough, sometimes we just ‘stay until it’s done’, and sometimes the work will be ad-hoc. There can be a lot of on-going projects – and it’s coming from all different angles.
With so many challenges on offer, career development is excellent. In your yearly appraisal, we’ll focus on personal goals and review ambitions that will carry through to the following months and years. On top of that, you’ll receive excellent exposure to the region’s activities, as you’ll frequently be involved in project work across the global network.
