The firm’s initiatives include its emerging tech programme, its legal tech incubator, and its regular thought leadership publications and innovation and emerging tech blog. For Slaughter and May, innovation means using its creative problem solving skills to identify areas for improvement and find new ways of working which add value for its clients.
