Explore Law Virtual Insight Programme

Explore Law – our virtual insight programme available on the Forage platform – offers you the opportunity to delve into the world of commercial law and learn more about Slaughter and May and the world of our lawyers.  

During the programme, you will explore four of our main practice areas: Financing, Corporate, Competition, and Disputes and Investigations – as you advise an imaginary client on a transaction and gain valuable insights into the types of work our lawyers do at the start of their careers. The programme also encourages the development of important skills and commercial awareness which will give you a better understanding of what a career at Slaughter and May entails. 

You can also use it on applications and in interviews as further evidence of your interest in, and understanding of, a career in commercial law. 

Who can apply? 

Explore Law is open to everyone, but it has been designed for 16-18 year olds and those just starting to explore a career in commercial law. No prior legal knowledge or work experience is required.
