Overview
Linklaters is a fun and vibrant place to work at. The work is bespoke and extremely complex, but enjoyable because you are working on global deals that impact everyday life. On a day-to-day basis we had workshops with Partners from Linklaters core practice groups e.g., Banking, Corporate, Finance and Dispute Resolution. Furthermore, we would sometimes have social events, such as a Partner Dinner at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant, which was a great opportunity to network with renounced lawyers. I also had the opportunity to get involved with market-leading client work ranging from Nuclear Plants and Carbon Capture.
Skills

Business Insight
It was interesting because there are many opportunities for career development. At Linklaters the work is never the same.
Culture
Linklaters is a people firm. The Senior Partner and Managing Partner are both outgoing, respectful and confident individuals, which represents the culture of the firm. During the Vacation Scheme, I introduced myself to partners in elevators and it was always well-received.
