At Linklaters, we want to make sure that applying for one of our roles is an enjoyable experience, where selection is mutual, and the process allows us to find out about you. But it's also an opportunity for you to decide whether we’re right for you. So, ask questions, allow time to think and do your research. We love hearing from anyone who is enthusiastic about changing the Legal industry. Not sure you meet all qualifications? Let us decide! Research shows that women and members of other under-represented groups tend to not apply to jobs when they think they may not meet every qualification, when, in fact, they often do! At Linklaters, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment and strongly encourage you to apply.

Submit your Application and CV (direct or via agency via the online portal. Please note we do not accept applications that are not submitted through the portal. Queries related to our roles must be directed to the relevant recruitment team ukbtrecruitment@linklaters.com for business team roles and not stakeholders.)

Our Recruitment Advisors will review your CV, and if relevant you will receive a call from us to have an informal chat about the role. The call will be to find out more about you, share more details with you about the role and to determine whether you would like to continue with your application. If you are suitable, upon review by the hiring manager, you will then be invited to interview.

The interview process may vary per role, and you will be told about this in your informal chat. At least one of the interview rounds will be in person, providing you with an invaluable opportunity to meet your team in-person and to visit the office. You will be fully supported by our recruitment team on each step of the process.

After the interview stages all candidates will receive a phone call sharing in-depth feedback on how you performed.

Job Offer Scams

Be alert to fictitious job opportunity posts and offers of employment which claim to be in the name of Linklaters. We have been made aware of various recruitment-related scams which ask for upfront payments, for example, for office equipment and promise start up bonuses and reimbursement in return for such payments. These scams often involve the use of email addresses similar to a genuine domain name. Genuine emails from Linklaters only use the domain of “@linklaters.com”. We will never ask you to make payments for office equipment or otherwise as part of our recruitment process. If you are in doubt about a job opportunity that appears to relate to our firm, please get in touch using the contact details on our careers website at www.linklaters.com/careers.

Equal Opportunities

As a responsible business, it is important that we represent the diversity of our people, our clients and our communities. We know that diversity makes us a better law firm and helps us attract the best talent, drive innovation with diversity of thought, and deliver the best experience to everyone who comes into contact with us. We recruit on the basis of merit, irrespective of age, disability, gender, gender identity, race or ethnicity, marital status, religion, sex, sexual orientation or any other status protected by the laws or regulations in the locations where we operate.

Selection decisions, and the reasons for those decisions, are recorded at each stage of the selection process. Selection criteria and, where appropriate, technical skills tests are in place to measure an individual’s ability for the safe and effective performance of a job. Those involved in recruitment and selection decisions and processes are also provided with guidance on diversity issues. If you require reasonable adjustments to be made during the selection process, please talk to a member of the recruitment team so that any required adjustments can be made in advance. Specific experience requirements advertised on a role do not intend to preclude applications from candidates who may have more or less experience. Our intention is only to indicate a guideline as to the necessary skills for the role as described.
