Pure Potential

Slaughter and May

Slaughter and May is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious law firms in the world. We advise on high profile and ground breaking international transactions and have an excellent and varied client list. The firm is organised into groups which undertake a general spread of work, encouraging lawyers to work on an extensive range of financial and commercial matters as well as developing expertise in specialist areas. Much of the work spans the globe with transactions involving not only the firm’s overseas offices but also leading independent law firms in other jurisdictions. The international nature of our practice means that our trainees and associates have the opportunity to work abroad, either in our overseas offices or on secondment with our “Best Friends”.

In addition to our vacancies for trainee solicitors, we also offer work experience placements at Christmas, Easter and during the Summer.

We are looking for candidates with strong grades at "A" level and a minimum of a high 2:1 at undergraduate level. We welcome applications from any degree discipline.

Our method of application for work experience schemes and training contracts is by way of our online system which can be accessed via our website - www.slaughterandmay.com. You will be asked to fill in a short form and to attach a copy of your CV, including a full percentage breakdown of all your examination results to date.
