Discover what it’s like to work in a business team at a truly innovative, global, commercial law firm.

Linklaters is a global magic circle law firm providing innovative and effective solutions to our clients’ greatest challenges. Working at Linklaters is about unleashing your imagination to challenge the present and shape the future. We will challenge you as a Linklaters intern to be a part of a diverse and inclusive team, to put our clients at the centre of what we do, to share your ideas for innovation and efficiency, and to think and do things differently.

Following on from the success of our legal Virtual Experience programmes, we are proud to launch our business team’s virtual experience programme. At Linklaters, our business teams provide a broad range of services to the firm with a collective goal of supporting our lawyers to deliver a best in class service to our clients. Many people don’t realise that there are a wealth of roles within a law firm that doesn’t involve being a lawyer, in fact, 50% of our firm is made up of business teams who play a pivotal role in our work, influencing senior lawyers and serving clients.  We know that many of you are starting to explore career options and we hope this programme will be a great opportunity to find out more about the world of Marketing, Human Resources, Technology, Legal Operations and Finance. 

Through the 5 modules, you will get to experience different business teams at Linklaters. Whilst we encourage you to complete as many modules as you are interested in, you only need to complete 3 modules in order to receive your certificate of completion.

Our programme is open to all students but has been designed for 16-18 year olds. 

This program is self-paced. It takes approximately 6-10 hours to complete.
