There is a collective ambition here that you’d be hard-pushed to find anywhere else. We know that to achieve our goal of market leadership, we need to do more than just attract the best business services professionals. We need to give them the scope and the access to senior decision-makers to influence change. Not to mention real involvement in the future of the firm.

So, while our lawyers tackle complex, global work, so will you. While our lawyers collaborate with, enjoy support from and share knowledge with all of our offices worldwide, so will you. In many areas of Business Services, there are examples of projects and initiatives that are taking business services professionals to the front line and putting them in contact with clients. Business developers participate in and present at pitch meetings. Knowledge officers analyse our clients’ businesses to identify where we can add value. Increasingly, clients are asking for our expertise outside areas of law: our IT team, for example, routinely offer advice to clients on implementing some of the systems we use.

Quite simply, we’re committed to offering the best and most challenging careers for business services professionals – not just in the legal sector, but in any industry. And we’re backing that up with real investment. We were the first law firm to invest in the latest SAP technology, for example. All through the firm, you will find the latest processes, services and technology.

Working in Business Services at Linklaters is challenging precisely because of the high standards we set ourselves. Walk through the corridors of any of our offices and you’ll meet people who are the very best at what they do. So to join us, you’ll need to be both able and willing to make an impact. For that reason, legal experience isn’t a pre-requisite here. We’re looking for different backgrounds and ideas untried in a legal environment. And we will be looking for you to act as a genuine source of expertise and advice on how we can make strides forward. But then, isn’t that also what you’re looking for?
