ABOUT THIS COMPANY:

THE SCOOP

Consistently ranked as a top money-maker, both in terms of firm profits and PPP, Magic Circle-firm Linklaters has achieved legal industry royalty by following the BigLaw formula well: build the finance and M&A practices, and grow internationally. The firm is one of the top brands among U.K.-based law firms, but if you want to work in the United States, there’s only one office: New York.

Truly Global

At the beginning of the 1990s, Linklaters was predominantly a U.K. firm with local operations in just a handful of cities across Europe and Asia.

Linklaters SURVEY SAYS


OUR SURVEY SAYS

Vault’s Verdict: What we have here is a failure to communicate—learning of firm decisions through the media has thrown a wet blanket on Linklaters’ associate morale. But despite trouble discerning partners’ vision for the firm, Linklaters associates enjoy enviable travel perks, interesting international work and London’s finest cultural treats (and drinks).

Associate Life

Satisfaction
• “The firm's extensive network of international offices and impressive list of global clients keep me busy handling a variety of finance matters. The firm is deeply focused on relationships, both internal and external, which is nice.”
• “Work allocation is not as equitable as it could be. Professional development depends heavily on alliances with partners.”
• “Management is disconnected and hierarchical and rather than making things easier, tends to make them more difficult.”
• “Work is interesting and I am given a high level of responsibility, but chances for promotion are not good and New York has very little control over the promotion process.”

Tips from the inside

Vault’s Verdict: Linklaters looks for globally experienced applicants itching to travel internationally while working on cross-border deals. If you can answer a couple of interview questions in a foreign tongue, all the better.
