Confirmed – this is tosh.

This is tosh.

Thank you for your excellent and carefully crafted review of the high quality work lawyers can expect from Slaughter & May.

(we can confirm that your cheque was signed by finance this morning and is in the post)

There are healthier ways to cope with a previous open day rejection, fresher.

S&M isn’t above the other Magic Circle firms, and certainly not as prestigious. It’s more CMS / Taylor Wessing at best.

The stereotype is that lawyers are boring, humourless and have no personality. We all know that isn’t true. Lawyers are normal people. However, the people who can’t tell this post is sarcasm are not normal.

Are you dumb? I’m not saying current NQ salaries are objectively low, but was mocking Slaughters for relying on purely objective / non-financial reasons (e.g., prestige) to justify not raising NQ salaries, while using those same reasons to position itself above the other Magic Circle firms.

You’re missing the point.

If you’re working constant 12 hour days and your competitors are paying 15k more for the same or less hours you are being mugged off.

It’s not about paying the bills, it’s about being paid what you are worth and what you are bringing in.

Please god be satire.

What on earth is a “top FTSE 100 company”? A company’s in the FTSE 100 or it isn’t.

In any case, given the performance of the FTSE recently this is like someone boasting they’ve coached more Division 2 football clubs than anyone else.

Right, because all of those things pay the bills.

1. The multispecialist approach builds a comprehensive knowledge base that can be applied to more specialised areas.

2. The level of intellectual stimulation that you get. Slaughter and May lawyers are very cultured, and tend to have a serious interest in music, literature, the Arts etc. The phrase “effortless superiority” comes to mind.

3. As everyone knows, they advise more top FTSE 100 companies than any other firm.

My prestige ISA looking very healthy at the moment, really excited to put it down as deposit on my first flat.
