Employee networks

The Christian Network aims to support Christians within the firm to live out their faith in the workplace and also serves as a forum through which anyone in the firm can find out more about Christianity for themselves.

It hosts weekly meetings to read the Bible and pray for one other and the firm, organises firmwide events around major festivals, and hosts talks and courses open to anyone interested in Christianity.

Recent highlights include an Easter celebration evening of drinks, hot cross buns and network members sharing the different ways their families celebrate Easter, and running a short course open to all to ask their questions about Christianity and the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Our regular Christian Network meetings are a great space to think about and discuss with others what it means to be a Christian at Slaughter and May and show Christ's love in the workplace. It's a wonderful opportunity to share fellowship with a diverse group of believers from different parts of the firm. Matthew Harman Associate

DIVERSE is a firm-wide network that celebrates and promotes ethnic and racial diversity, both within and outside Slaughter and May.

Jewish Network aims to provide an informal environment for Jews and others to get together to mark Jewish holidays, engage in learning and, of course, eat and drink. We organise and host a number of socials and events throughout the year and keep in regular contact through our mailing list.

Jewish Network provides a community for the Jewish members of the firm; we are a diverse bunch and welcome anyone who wants to come along to any of our events. Ben Goldstein Associate

The Muslim Network supports Muslims in the firm by providing a forum for staff to share ideas and concerns. The Muslim Network welcomes those of any or no faith and so generally provides an opportunity for all staff across the firm to connect.

It also facilitates networking opportunities by running joint events with other Networks at the firm and Muslim Networks in the City.

The network engages with the firm more widely by raising awareness of and celebrating key festivals in the Islamic calendar.

The Muslim Network hosts a variety of different social events throughout the year. We have our annual Eid dinner, chai and cake afternoons as well as activity sessions, such as pasta-making! We also schedule regular coffee catch-ups with our members. The Network is a great way to meet people from across the firm and is open to all. Ismail Afzal Trainee Solicitor
