Academic Requirements

[Edit]

Linklaters are looking for candidates who've done their research on the firm and are well prepared on their application form and subsequently for their interview. The firm are one of the very best in the industry and consequently like to see candidates who’ve gone the extra mile or can offer something that sets them apart form other candidates. Bright, enthusiastic people with keen business minds will do well.

In interview it's important to be assertive and to state why you think you should be hired by Linklaters. Interviews at top firms are often about how you market yourself on the application form and in interview rather than what you've actually done so make sure you practice interview technique before you come here.
