I was able to gain insight on how Slaughter and May function within the legal sector as well as their ability to create their own niche within the highly competitive magic circle firms. I understood in greater detail their culture as a firm through my conversations with various trainee solicitors, solicitors, associates and partners in the firm. Moreover, I was opportune to have a crash course on how acquisitions and mergers are achieved by firms through contract law and the dynamics of vertical and horizontal mergers and acquisitions.
