LOCATIONS OF VACANCIES

Slaughter and May is a leading international law firm, recognised for their exceptional legal service and commitment to clients. They are a trusted adviser to some of the largest companies in the world, delivering standout work on high- profile, complex and often landmark transactions. Slaughter and May’s distinctive approach is reflected not only in the calibre of their work, but also in the way their lawyers are trained and supported from the start of their careers, developing a deep understanding of the firm’s clients through working across a wide range of transactions, and the independence of thought required to deliver integrated legal advice. The firm’s inclusive culture values diversity of experience and perspective, creating an environment in which people can achieve excellence through collective effort and shared expertise. Slaughter and May’s training contract reflects this approach, and is designed to offer the breadth of experience and training needed to develop deep specialisms to advise clients across a range of legal matters. The firm believes that this approach makes for a far more fulfilling career – it provides challenge and interest. Graduates will be given responsibility from an early stage and the opportunity to work alongside partners, who, together with other team members in the firm, provide mentoring and individual support. Trainees complete at least two six-month seats in Slaughter and May’s Corporate and M&A and Financing groups. Subject to gaining some contentious experience, their remaining time can be divided into two or three of the firm’s specialist areas or focused on one. They can apply for an international or client secondment in their second year. Slaughter and May run four paid work experience schemes, open days and virtual insight events each year to enable students and graduates to explore a career in law at the firm.
