The global summer students’ programme at Linklaters shows talented law students from around the world what it’s like to be a Linklaters lawyer. For those with the ambition to work on the most important and complex deals across multiple jurisdictions, the summer students’ programme will provide you with invaluable insight in the way we work.

We created this intensive, London-based, two-week programme of activities to identify and attract the best global talent for our firm. For students on summer placements at one of our offices globally, it’s a chance to find out whether Linklaters is the right place to start your legal career. You will experience valuable practical training, gaining both confidence and contacts from the very start.

While in London in your first week, you will build on your knowledge of our firm and your awareness of the commercial environment of the City of London. You will tour our buildings, attend presentations and develop your legal knowledge in a range of engaging, practical tutorials. And thanks to involvement from the College of Law and a huge number of people within Linklaters, you will get the full picture of the firm from a variety of perspectives.

During the second week, you will experience working life in one of our practice areas while completing a group research project to bring what you’ve learnt to life. You’ll gain a great deal of commercial insight, adding to what you have learnt at university.

Whilst activities on the programme are intense, we also make sure they are enjoyable. Getting to know fellow students is a huge part of the experience. For the two-week duration in London, we will house you in apartments with your peers. You will also experience a range of networking and social events.
