Slaughter And May Trainee Careers Description
We are regarded as one of the most prestigious law firms in the world, advising on high profile and groundbreaking international transactions. We have clients throughout the world. They range from governments to entrepreneurs, from funds to leading banks, from retailers to entertainment companies and from diversified industrial conglomerates to Premier League football clubs. We have offices in London, Brussels, Hong Kong and Beijing and work closely in seamless intergrated teams with leading independent law firms around the world - our “Best Friend Firms”.
The most successful and enduring global businesses have distinctive cultures that set them apart. We are no exception. We pride ourselves on our supportive, friendly and collegiate atmosphere, in which individuality and independence of thought are encouraged. We achieve excellence through collective effort and a willingness to share expertise.
Our lawyers are multi-specialists: they are equipped to advise each client on a wide range of legal issues. This expertise enables them to enjoy a challenging, varied and interesting workload. The responsibility that we give our trainees, and our expectation that they be as creative, meticulous and thoughtful as any partner, ingrains a professionalism that our trainees carry with them for the rest of their careers. Working at Slaughter and May means that you will not be pigeonholed and will develop an awareness of the bigger picture.
Many of our people have spent their entire careers with us. Most of our partners joined as trainees and all worked as associates here before being elected to our partnership. This loyalty and commitment is inspired by a pride in what we do and who we are, and by a common goal: doing our very best for our clients and maintaining our position as a premier law firm.
