What was your route into Linklaters?
I studied law at the University of Johannesburg and I wanted an international career. Along came Linklaters and so I came to London through the firm’s Africa Clerkship programme. At the end of the programme, I was offered the opportunity of a lifetime to join Linklaters as a Trainee.
What motivates you about client work?
As a trainee, I've been able to answer even seemingly simple questions for some of our biggest clients! This has been an exciting experience, less than two years into my career, and knowing my small contribution can make a difference inspires me every day.
I think what distinguishes the firm’s approach to client work is our positive attitude, meticulous attention to detail and collaborative mindset. The training that we get at Linklaters gives the confidence needed to start as an Associate.
