The firm meets the cost of the GDL and the LPC and provides a maintenance grant for each. The training contract is structured around four six-month seats, designed to build your knowledge, experience and contacts in a broad range of practice areas and to equip you for your long-term career.Linklaters has high expectations of its trainees and recruits talented and motivated graduates who expect a lot from themselves. In return, we offer our trainees global opportunities, entrepreneurial freedom, world-class training and incredible rewards.
