Our opportunites
Outstanding training
We believe what makes us stand out as an employer, is the attention we give to training and support. We offer the fully rounded programme you need to rapidly develop your understanding of commercial law and build your skills. Providing the foundation you need to become a successful lawyer. This dedication is paying dividends, as our trainees choose to stay with us year after year.
Pathfinder
Our one-day Pathfinder Scheme is for first-year undergraduates. It offers a taste of life in commercial law at a global law firm. And you’ll also pick up the skills to take the next step: applying for one of our Vacation Schemes.
You’ll learn about our culture, work and strategy and attend workshops to develop commercial skills such as teamwork and networking, that will see you succeed in any setting.
You’ll also shadow Trainees and Associates and attend a personal impact masterclass. This will give you some pointers on how to stand out from the crowd – a vital skill when it comes to applying for Vacation Schemes.
Summer Vacation Scheme
Our four-week summer scheme (June and July) offers genuine insight into life as a Trainee
Join and you’ll benefit from real-life experience in different practice areas combined with workshops and seminars dedicated to your professional development. As well as the Recruitment Team, you’ll rub shoulders with experienced lawyers and Trainees, who are there to help you make the most of the scheme and your talents.
You’ll get to know Linklaters, and develop negotiation and presentation skills. The Schemes are also a potential passport to bigger things, as you’ll automatically be offered an interview for a Training Contract.
The Scheme is for penultimate and final-year law undergraduates or graduates (law and non-law).
You will need to complete the online assessment as well as the Watson Glaser online test after you have submitted your online application. If you are successful, you will be invited to attend an interview with Human Resources, followed by an interview with two Managing Associates/Counsel.
