The insight was extremely informative throughout. The fact that my scheme only had 16 people on it really shows how interested the firm is in you. From the moment you walk in, the staff already know your name and are willing to help. The two weeks consist...
I enjoyed the insight immensely. The culture of the firm was very warm and supportive which made me find it easier to learn more from them. Additionally, there were so many events organised daily that were very useful and engaging, and I took away many sk...
The week which I spent with Allen & Overy on their vacation scheme was incredibly enjoyable in all respects. I know that the majority of law firms will claim that they have the nicest staff, but I can honestly say that the staff at Allen & Overy were the ...
I thoroughly enjoyed the insight - it felt real, not artificial, and there was a really good balance between informative sessions about A&O, networking events and real work back at my desk in my department. I had always had a very good impression of the p...
I very much enjoyed the insight. I found out a lot about the firm and participated in several engaging presentations and events. The social occasions were also fantastic, especially the meal at the Dorchester.
The scheme was highly enjoyable. The graduate recruitment team were on hand at all times to answer any queries and the whole week ran seamlessly. The events were well-executed and we were able to learn lots about the firm, despite the short period of time...
I found the scheme to be genuinely enjoyable.
I really had a great time on the Winter Vac Scheme it was a whistle-stop of the firm and all its departments and it was really interesting to discover more about the daily work of a commercial lawyer.
The vacation scheme was great because it we got to experience such a wide range of things and meet many people. There was a good mix of work, socials, networking, and skills building. It was hard work, but you get a lot out of it and the week flies by.
It was great, being able to sit in a single department for two weeks and really understand the mechanics of daily solicitor work.
The two week vacation scheme was a very enjoyable experience, it was a great mix of the work and social side of Allen & Overy. The team I was working with was keen to involve me in ongoing deals at the firm, which made me feel very involved. Everyone at t...
Very enjoyable insight. We gained a unique insight into Allen & Overy in a way which was not only beneficial but also interesting and fun. Throughout the scheme we were looked after extremely well. You have the chance to return to the office after the ini...
I felt very welcomed and I learnt so much about the firm and commercial law.
I really enjoyed the insight day. Especially the buddy part of the day
It was a holistically great experience. As a non-lawyer I felt very informed and was impressed at the number of people that I was given the opportunity to interact with. I especially enjoyed (and continue to enjoy) talking to my trainee buddy, <strong>Thi...
I very much enjoyed the Allen & Overy First programme. Being able to spend an entire day in the office in March and coming back in September was a valuable experience. The graduate recruitment team put a lot of effort in the First programme to make is as ...
A&O First was a very useful insight scheme which I enjoyed a lot because of the range of different activities we were given to do and the relevance of the information we received.
A&O First Step was a great experience and offered first year law students a valuable insight into this Magical Circle law firm. The graduate recruitment team was so helpful, and the early insight that they give you into the Vacation Scheme application qu...
