Overview
It was a range of panels and talks on different seats available at the firm, including M&A, Pro Bono and Banking. We also got the chance to participate in a fun litigation exercise, as well as a golf social after work.
Skills
I learnt a lot of skills including presentation and legal understanding, which I can’t wait to take forward into my future work with the firm.
Business Insight
We got specific details about the vacation scheme and training contract at Allen and Overy, which should prove extremely helpful. Additionally, we gained key insight into the Fuse section of the firm, as well as opportunities for client and international secondment which was great.
Culture
The company culture seemed great. Everyone we spoke to portrayed integrity and a collaborative spirit which isn’t as prevalent as other city Law firms, so it’s great to see that this is such a big focus at A&O.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed the insight because it struck a perfect balance between delivering value with the various presentations, and also allowing for opportunities to connect with one another during breaks and dedicated time periods.
Yes
I would advise people to do their research into the firm and all its interesting offerings, and also primarily to keep an open mind.
