Our aim is to be the leading global law firm, building relationships that endure through business cycles to ensure that top companies and financial institutions instinctively turn to us for support on their most important and challenging assignments.
Doing this requires a constant focus on our clients, a deep understanding of our markets, globally minded and committed people and responsibility and integrity in the way we interact with our communities and manage our impact on the environment.
This agenda raises difficult challenges and different tensions. Our Corporate Responsibility Review explains these challenges in more detail, highlighting what we are doing to address them in each case.
About our business
As one of the leading global law firms, we undertake the most important and challenging assignments for the world's leading companies, financial institutions and governments, helping them to achieve their objectives by solving their most complex and important legal issues.
We build lasting relationships with our clients, and we are committed to supporting them at all times, as they adjust to changes in their markets and the regulatory landscape. The size and shape of our business is determined by our clients and the work we do for them.
We believe that the strength and depth of our practices, our client relationships, our sector approach, the quality of our people and our global platform give us significant competitive advantage.
Our work is divided into three broad divisions for management purposes: Corporate; Finance and Projects; and Commercial. In practice, advising our clients usually involves more than one division.
Corporate
Our corporate division is recognised as a world leader in mergers, acquisitions, flotations, joint ventures and private equity. These are often pioneering deals. While many people associate corporate law with mergers, acquisitions and private equity, there are many other types of expertise at work here. Lawyers specialising in antitrust/competition, employment, pensions and incentives help companies with some of the toughest issues facing modern business.
Finance and Projects
Our finance practice leads the world’s strongest financial institutions practice and advises companies, funds and governments as well as banks in their funding, hedging and investment activities. Innovation and market leadership stand at the centre of our work. Our projects team leads many of the world’s most important energy and infrastructure projects.
Commercial
Our commercial division offers a broad range of expertise, including litigation and dispute resolution, real estate, tax, technology, media and telecommunications, intellectual property and trusts. Most of the time, we advise corporate and financial institutions, but our trusts lawyers also work with individuals, charities and trustees.
Our people
To deliver consistently excellent advice to our clients, we depend on having expert, flexible and entrepreneurial lawyers who are at the very top of their profession. We provide world-class learning and development and knowledge management to everyone across the firm, at every stage of their career.
Working at Linklaters means being globally-minded, mobile, agile and responsive to clients and market opportunities. Our commitment to our people – the Deal – is to provide an outstanding career experience that offers a passport to success whether people stay with the firm or develop their careers elsewhere.
We have an inclusive, meritocratic culture where people can excel. We believe that different perspectives enrich the culture of the firm and help us provide more rounded solutions for clients.
Award winning
Client satisfaction is the real measure of success for the work we do, but we also value the external recognition gained through the awards we have won around the world.
