When making the leap from LLM student to global lawyer, a move to Linklaters could prove a wise one. You will experience a close-knit professional network, outstanding training that is consistent around the world, an open and collaborative culture and, of course, strength across all practice areas of business law.
You will discover what it feels like to do influential work on a global stage and will be routinely involved in innovative, complex cross-border deals.
Opportunities in many offices
We offer LLM students a range of positions in a number of offices throughout the world. That’s why we go out of our way to meet as many of you as possible and talk openly and honestly about what’s on offer. Whether that’s through an event or job fair, in the US or the UK, we believe there really is no substitute to our personal, informal approach.
Wherever you meet us, you can expect one-to-one conversations. It’s an opportunity to get to know partners from different jurisdictions and find out what our culture, the work we do and the global opportunities we offer are really like. These sessions are ideal for you to get a feel for whether Linklaters is the right choice for you and for us to get to know you better.
Personal qualities count for a lot

A strong commitment to practising business law is, of course, essential. We also look for people who are globally-minded, innovative thinkers and team players – those who share our ambition to deliver exceptional results for clients, every time.
The opportunities that we can offer you are directly linked to our ambition to become the premium global law firm.

Global development
We recognise the diversity of background, education and experience represented by international LLM students and so we treat each application on an individual basis. This includes considering where you’ll be working – although it’s usually in your country of qualification.
