McDermott Will & Schulte was formed when Chicago's McDermott Will & Emery merged with New York private capital specialist Schulte Roth & Zabel in 2025. Chambers ranks the London office for mid-market banking and finance, employment, tax and top-tier healthcare, and NQ pay sits at £179,000.
Culture & Values
Six trainees a year, an intake that doubled after the merger, complete four six-month seats from One Eagle Place off Piccadilly, with corporate and private equity, finance and litigation required and options spanning healthcare, real estate, competition and tax. Chambers reports a supportive junior culture, weekly Thursday sundowners and a 24-hour annual pro bono target for trainees.
