“I’ve always had an interest in law. So, after graduating from my Law and Management degree at Tilburg, I was eager to start making my mark in the real world. My career began at another law firm, and although they had offices in other countries, I wanted more global exposure. I also wanted to work on high-profile, innovative deals and have greater access to clients. But finding a top-tier law firm that combined all this, with a focus on teamwork and an open culture in which I could thrive, seemed difficult – until I discovered Linklaters.

Linklaters is a place for people with big ambition. It’s for those who know that the best way to achieve your goals is by learning from and supporting those around you. With world-class training and development, like the English Legal Drafting course I recently attended, it is easy to see why people here are among the best lawyers in the world. My advice to anyone beginning a career in law would be to find out as much as you can about the firm you wish to join. Arrange an internship with us – it’s a great way to get to know the people, the type of work and business you could be part of.”
