    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Thanks for your response, Jessica! I am an EU student and have the pre-settled status under the EU settlement scheme (I have the right to work in the UK). I am also currently working as a paralegal at an MC firm in London. So I should be eligible to apply then.

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    I attended the Legal Cheek event with Linklaters last week and am a bit confused about a statement one grad recruiter made re the eligibility for the winter vacation scheme. She said that 'only students that are studying/have studied at a UK university are allowed to apply to Linklaters'...
