“Linklaters Associates work in the knowledge that they are doing the best deals for the most impressive clients. Each member of the team plays an essential role – and they know that clients and colleagues alike are relying on them to deliver.

“You also get to work with some terrific people, and not just in the corporate group. When the whole team gets together at the start of a deal, you look around the room and realise the strength we have across the whole firm. That’s certainly not the case in all firms. Here you can rely on the support of talented specialists, and that helps you to get your job done.

“We have an enviable client list, which provides the most innovative and ground-breaking deals. That sets us apart in itself. On a day-to-day basis, though, it’s the individuals at those clients who make the difference. Successful organisations employ the best and most able people in their industry, and this makes them a pleasure to work with.

“For me, one of the main attractions of corporate work is its variety, and Linklaters has always been able to offer its lawyers a good spread. Our work allocation partners walk the corridors, chatting to associates; ensuring people can manage and vary their work, and develop new skills. We help people become truly international lawyers – and most of our work involves a cross-border element. The constant exposure to other jurisdictions and cultures also makes for a vibrant atmosphere.

“It’s an exciting time for our corporate department. I can’t think of another single firm that can offer the quality of deals that we can – and in an environment like this. We’ve received some very favourable press recently. That’s great, of course, but I can just see the opportunities here only getting better and better.”
