I thoroughly enjoyed the three week vacation scheme at Allen and Overy. It was a good mix of introductions to the different practice areas within the firm, networking with current employees (of all levels, from trainee to worldwide senior partner!), compl...
I enjoyed it more than I thought I would - I didn't feel like I was being constantly reviewed.
The vacation scheme was perfectly organised to give us a vast range of experiences in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. We were able to meet and work with employees from a range of backgrounds and levels, and they were always honest. I really enjoyed the va...

I thoroughly enjoyed the A&O First Open Day and it was the most enjoyable open day that I attended.
I really enjoyed it, it was a very interesting, stimulating experience and gave me, a non-law student, a huge amount of insight both into the commercial law industry and Allen and Overy itself.
I greatly enjoyed the insight. It provided many valuable networking opportunities whilst also displaying the role and life of a commercial lawyer.
It was a really enjoyable day, all the events they had organised were useful and engaging- particularly the negotiating challenge!
