Linklaters' Culture

Mirroring the cross-border, multi-jurisdictional assignments we are known for, you will find yourself working closely with colleagues from across the world, able to draw on specialist expertise at any time. The sense of global teamwork is palpable, while the geographic location will ensure that you feel connected to both Europe and Asia.

You will discover that the culture of teamwork shapes your immediate working environment too. Our success in the region is collective and we are small enough for every one of us to know that we are making a significant contribution to that success.

The demands of working in this booming emerging economy can be steep. Pragmatism and robustness are prerequisites, as are enthusiasm and a sense of entrepreneurship in order to meet the challenges of the rapidly changing economy and the needs of our clients.

Whatever the demands, you will feel fully supported. You will have access to our global training programmes, which will also help you build your network of contacts with colleagues across the firm. You will find that the culture is of open and easy communication with partners and other colleagues and that you are working with people at the very top of their game.

Living in the UAE is exciting and offers many attractions beyond the eight months of perfect climate you will enjoy every year. Increasingly, the expatriate community is more stable with people staying longer. You will be mixing with people from across the world who are shaping the UAE’s development as a key commercial and financial global centre. With a very high quality of life, outstanding leisure opportunities and easy connections to the rest of the world, your time in the region will be as rewarding outside work as in.
