One of twenty finalists, Samantha will work with a team at Linklaters to develop their initial idea and their skills in presenting it with most impact.  If she progresses to the final round, Samantha will be invited to make a presentation to a panel of experts and answer some questions to demonstrate her breadth of research and have the opportunity to win the prize for the Overall Winner.

Linklaters launched the Making Links Schools Challenge in 2018, aimed at helping young people improve their commercial awareness and presentation skills. It was designed to give UK state-school students currently completing A-Levels the opportunity to develop skills they need to become the commercial lawyers of the future, whilst also winning prizes for their school and themselves.
