It is going to be difficult to find a website to beat Slaughter and May’s near-perfect content score. Using the same criteria developed to assess the websites of Clifford Chance, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Linklaters earlier this year, Slaughters has notched up an excellent content score of 97.5%, leaving closest runner Linklaters (reviewed in this column last month) some way behind with 93.8%.

That said, it is a shame that Slaughter and May’s website design and usability ratings do not match up to the standard set by its content score, knocking the website’s overall position down to a level that places the firm third behind Linklaters and Freshfields, but just ahead of Clifford Chance.
