About Us Join Linklaters and you become part of one of the world’s most prestigious law firms – a global network of exceptionally talented, highly motivated lawyers working as a team and learning from one another to fulfil our ambition of becoming the leading global law firm. Types of work While many law firms are strong in particular areas, Linklaters is the only firm to have market- leading global teams across the full range of corporate, finance and commercial practice areas. This, partnered with our culture of innovation, teamwork and entrepreneurship, means that we have built strong relationships with the world’s leading companies, financial institutions and governments and are asked to advise them on their most important and challenging transactions and assignments. Vacation Schemes Our four-week Summer programmes are designed for penultimate-year law students. We have worked hard to design a vacation scheme that successfully combines real life experience in our practice areas with workshops and seminars dedicated to your professional development. Our Winter scheme lasts for two weeks and provides an intensive introduction to Linklaters for final-year students who are studying a degree subject other than law. The structure is very much the same as the Summer vacation scheme – a mix of real life experience, seminars and personal project work, backed up by a range of social activities. We adapt the syllabus to accommodate people who have no legal background, but the experience is still completely authentic.
