How we make decisions

Linklaters is a limited liability partnership. Ultimately, it is our partners who make the firm’s long-term strategic decisions, guided by our management bodies.

We want to be the law firm that clients trust to work with above all others. We stand out for our commitment to investing in our clients, delivering timely, responsive and innovative advice that best matches their requirements. We also want to create an excellent working environment in which our people are empowered, feel completely at home and can develop and use their talents to the full.

Our leadership is decisive, imaginative and supportive. They give clear direction so that everybody knows where they stand, while providing the latitude to allow for our people to be creative. Innovation and problem-solving are at the heart of our approach to our business.

Our Partnership Board is the senior governance body of the firm and is responsible for strategic and other major decisions. It is chaired by our Senior Partner and made up of a group of elected partners who represent the geographic and legal practice spread of the firm. The firm’s management is accountable to the Partnership Board.

Our Executive Committee is where the senior executive management of the firm discuss strategic, planning and operational issues and make the firm’s key operational decisions. It is chaired by our Firmwide Managing Partner and its members include the heads of divisions (Corporate, Finance, and Litigation, Arbitration and Investigations) and regions as well as Chief Officers (HR, Finance and Growth).
