Slaughter and May is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since November 2011 and recorded under SRA number 55388. The SRA record lists 3 practising offices: the head office at One Bunhill Row, London, EC1Y 8YY, plus 2 further offices in Brussels and Beijing. The register carries 1 previous name, most recently Slaughter & May. Its constitution is recorded as partnership.
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 7 areas of law: Corporate (non-listed), ADR, Litigation, Commercial property, Landlord and tenant, Corporate (listed) and Employment. Residential property is not among the reported areas, so the firm does not appear in the conveyancing lists on this site's town and city pages.
The head office postcode EC1Y 8YY falls within Islington (London), where the SRA register lists 149 authorised firms with a practising office, 41 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Trucidator Nominees Limited (same postcode, London), Trusec Limited (same postcode, London), Trexco Limited (same postcode, London), Doyle Clayton Solicitors Limited (same postcode, London) and Spencer West LLP (100 m, London). 1 of those 5 reports residential property work.
The SRA records the firm's constitution as partnership, a structure with no Companies House registration, so there is no company record to cross-reference; the SRA authorisation record is the only public register entry for the firm.
