As a student deciding where to apply for a traineeship, there are many factors to consider.
First among those is whether your ambition is to work for a premium international law firm. If so, and if you are committed to a career in which you can bring your in-depth knowledge of Russian law to the most complex and challenging of deals for the world’s leading global companies and banks, then Linklaters will be a natural choice for you.
Secondly, you will be thinking carefully about the kind of working culture that will suit you and enable you to flourish. Without a doubt, the work we do at Linklaters in Moscow is challenging and responsibility will come early to you as a trainee. However, you will find yourself in an open, supportive, friendly and collaborative culture where associates, managing associates and partners are all committed to sharing their knowledge with you and pulling together as a team. The challenges are therefore exciting and the sense of achievement frequent and intense.
Thirdly, you will be taking into account the breadth of experience and training available to you. At Linklaters you will get a universal learning and development experience across the spectrum of our practices. Your training will be augmented with commercial skills such as client interaction and presentation skills. In addition you will make global contacts through integration with non-Russian lawyers in the Moscow office and colleagues across the firm. All of this will contribute to your development as a fully-rounded, client-focused, globally-minded lawyer.
