Welcome from Graham White

A warm welcome to the trainee solicitors section of our website.

It is difficult to know which law firm to choose when starting out as a lawyer. We hope that our website will demonstrate to you why Slaughter and May is not only one of the best law firms in the world, but also a great place to work.

In this section we explain:

• why you should choose us
• how our training contract works
• through our podcast, career journeys and trainee video profiles, what it is really like to work here
• how to apply

I joined the firm as an articled clerk and have enjoyed an exciting and rewarding career journey so far. I have been the Head of our Commercial Real Estate group, the Recruitment Partner and am now the Executive Partner.

I have been lucky enough to work with some amazing people and in my experience, if you are willing to take responsibility, have initiative and are a "team player" then Slaughter and May will suit you perfectly.
