Meet Slaughter and May in Oxford on Monday 2 November!

Slaughter and May Careers is a leading international law firm, recognised for their exceptional legal service, commercial awareness and commitment to clients. They are trusted advisers to some of the world’s largest companies, advising on complex, high-profile and often ground-breaking transactions, and their forward thinking and innovative approach complements the best-in-class advice on which their reputation is built.

To find out more about the firm and the training contract and work experience opportunities available, sign up now for an in-person presentation and panel Q&A at Oxford University Museum of Natural History on Monday 2 November, 6.30pm – 8.30pm.

You’ll be able to hear partners, associates and trainees share insights into their journey to the firm and career so far and bring to life Slaughter and May’s distinct differences by sharing their own experiences of the firm’s way of working, their global reach, and their culture.
