[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 1072, member: 1"] [U]Slaughter and May Vacation Scheme 2017[/U] [B]How did you find the Slaughter and May vacation scheme?[/B] There were plenty of introductory talks on the firm/practice areas, and depending on your supervisor, the opportunity to sit in with trainees for a few of their training sessions, and cross-firm talks on current commercial affairs. The workload depends very much on the Associate you are assigned and on how busy they are, so accordingly there was an optional case-study work pack to keep vac. schemers who had less work equally occupied. The people were friendly, reserved, and notably very intellectual. The social on the last night provided a very good opportunity to talk with trainees/associates/partners and HR from across the firm.
