The quality and breadth of our work within the U.S. practice are big motivators for people joining Linklaters. Although the bulk of our U.S. practice is located in New York and London, our U.S. attorneys are also based in: Beijing, Dubai, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Madrid, Moscow, Paris, Rome, São Paulo, Singapore and Tokyo. The opportunities for U.S. associates to practice in our other offices is increasing as the U.S. practice grows. A large number of our deals are multi-jurisdictional, which makes the U.S. practice all the more integral to Linklaters and its clients worldwide. It also makes life much more exciting for you.

The U.S. practice meshes with the global Firm in a variety of ways. It runs its own U.S. law-specific deals and cases; handles the U.S. law elements of multi-jurisdictional deals and cases; and advises on U.S. law issues as they arise in connection with any matter that the Firm may take on. Therefore, as a U.S. attorney, you can be the driving force behind the whole deal or be the expert on specific U.S. law elements. And you have the opportunity to work with the broad spectrum of Linklaters' international client base.

It's this combination of exciting work and a sense of being part of a growing, influential U.S. practice that makes us particularly attractive to ambitious law students. Linklaters was voted #14 in New York (out of 81 firms in the city) on the recent American Lawyer's Midlevel Associates Survey 2007. In fact, our associates have ranked us within the top 15 firms to work for in New York every year for the past four years.

The U.S. practice is a dynamic and exciting place to be right now. The Firm is dedicated to increasing the size and scope of the practice - an example of which is the recent expansion of our Litigation and Investment Management practices in New York. Because we are growing, you will benefit from the unique atmosphere of a firm that feels new and vibrant – while enjoying the support of an established, leading international firm.
