ABOUT THIS COMPANY:
Definitive member of the Magic Circle and one of the 10 largest firms in the UK by revenue, Slaughters is something of an anomaly. It does not have the gigantic international footprint one might expect from a Magic Circle firm, it is not a member of the UK Big Four and it gathers its impressive yearly takings from just four offices. A mere 750 lawyers do the firm’s bidding worldwide, and yet it remains one of the most profitable and respected firms in the world.

To proceed further, candidates must also be “intelligent, confident, and have interests beyond corporate law”.
