    Thank you both for that information! I can understand how it looks from a graduate recruiter's point of view when you abbreviate the firm's name to something that isn't really recognised, for example Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom can be abbreviated to 'Skadden' or Skadden Arps'. :)

    Following on from the above discussion how could I abbreviate Slaughter and May or is it not possible? I can't replace the 'and' with an asterisk as that is how it is spelt and equally using 'Slaughters' looks unprofessional and colloquialized. Any tips? @Jessica Booker
