• Information about the refurbishment

Please note that as part of the refurbishment of our One Bunhill Row office, our staff restaurant is currently closed, but there are ‘Grab & Go’ stations on floors 2, 3 and 7, which offer pastries, yoghurts, sandwiches, salads, soft drinks and confectionery.

There are also plenty of other places near the office to get lunch including Pret and Coco di Mama on Chiswell Street, and M&S, Greggs, Itsu and more on City Road. We would also recommend trying the street food market at Whitecross Street. 

You will have access to a 1st floor meeting room to have your lunch in during the first two weeks of the scheme, but there are also lots of outdoor spaces nearby, such as Finsbury Square, the Barbican, Fortune Street Park and Citypoint.

There are coffee pods on each floor where you can help yourselves to tea, coffee and water for free, and there are also fridges available for storing food. If you would like to heat up your food, there are microwaves on the ground floor in room G.018.

During your time at the firm, we encourage you to arrange informal meetings with people from across the firm, and you may like to book an internal meeting room to do so.

To book an internal meeting room (rooms on floors 2 – 8), you can use the SpaceScheduling site. You will need to log-in using your laptop credentials. There are also sofa booths on floors 7 and 8 that you may like to use, but you cannot book these in advance. 

To book a meeting room on the first floor for client meetings, you can use the ‘Room Request form’ under Forms (top right corner) on OneNet.

During this placement you may come into possession of inside information, broadly, information about listed securities that has not been made public and which if made public would be likely to have a significant effect on the price of the securities.

In order to work for clients whose securities are traded on regulated markets, Slaughter and May has to maintain insider lists being lists of all individuals who have had access to inside information relating to a particular client’s matter.

If you do come into possession of inside information while on this placement your name and personal details will be included on the firm’s insider list for that matter which will be provided to the client and its regulators, in any jurisdiction, on request.

The firm is therefore collecting the following information about you which will be included on any insider lists you are named on:

• first name(s), surname(s) and birth surname (if different from your surname);
• date of birth;
• ‘National Identification Number’ where applicable (this is not applicable for UK nationals);
• personal home and mobile telephone numbers; and
• main residential address.

The following information will also be included on the list:

• work direct line and mobile telephone numbers (if relevant);
• work address – i.e. One Bunhill Row, London;
• function and the reason why you are on the insider list (i.e. Transaction support);
• the date on which you became an insider;
• the date on which you ceased to be an insider (being the date your placement ends).

The firm’s Dealing Rules do not apply to you. You must instead comply with the dealing restriction that you do not use any information you obtain as a result of your time at the firm for your own financial gain, or that of your family and friends. This obligation extends, but is not limited, to your being prohibited from using information to make a profit, or to inform any investment decisions you, or others you know, make.

If you have any questions about our collection of this data, inside information or our insider list procedures and policies, please speak to one of the firm’s Compliance lawyers.
