On Thursday 19 November 2026, Linklaters LLP is organizing a meeting for talented female law students considering a career in the legal profession or notary practice at a large international firm. A number of our successful colleagues, including Maggie Alarie (COO), Mariken van Loopik (Partner FRG Amsterdam) and Marleen Wessel (Partner/Notary Amsterdam) will share their personal experiences regarding reaching the top of their field and leadership positions within Linklaters, which challenges they overcame in doing so, and how they combine their private lives with a top career. The day will conclude with a drinks reception.
