Our three-week international clerkships are a fantastic opportunity for students from Africa who want to start their careers at Linklaters in London and gain an insight into the world of commercial law. Not only will you experience living and working in London, you’ll also interview for a Training Contract with us for a full-time role upon graduation. The Clerkship takes place in November – December each year. The firm will support you with your visa, as well as pay for your flights and accommodation during your time with us in London.

We accept applications from current penultimate-year and final-year Law students, or Law graduates who have studied or are nationals from any African country, except for South African nationals studying in South Africa
