    Slaughter and May 2021 Training Contract

    Thanks guys! I'm just worried because it's going to be my first interview and I've never done a client memo before. Time to get to work I guess :D I will start by looking up those threads!

    Thanks for the tips! I'm just worried that breaking down my uni grades could make my CV very long..

    Slaughter and May 2021 Training Contract

    Hello everyone, Slaughter and May has just opened applications for the 2021 TC, thus I thought it could be useful to create a new thread in order to discuss the application process. First of all, they seem to put emphasis on the CV and the cover letter. In regard to the former, what is the...
