About You
I felt very welcomed and I learnt so much about the firm and commercial law.
5/5
I felt as valued as a First Year Intern could feel at a top firm.
4/5
Quite a lot, except for the fact that may trainee buddy has now left the London office. So it was a shame to not be able to consult him.
4/5
This scheme has given me a much better insight into the firm and, hopefully, the firm a much better insight into me.
4/5

Really enjoyed being there. Graduate Recruitment, trainees and my peers made for excellent and down-to-earth company.
4/5
The company have made us feel very welcomed and valued as A&O First-ers. They have thanked us warmly, even though we should be thanking them for providing us with a such a wealth of insight, and good food and company. I really enjoy their updates on our private Facebook group, reminding us that they still value a connection with all of us.
4/5
The work experience and networking really helps. I would have appreciated even more work experience and maybe more case studies, but what we had was amazing as it was.
4/5
It definitely does. Allen & Overy are a very welcoming, hard-working and innovative firm.
4/5
Really helpful. It made me feel more confident in my choice to pursue commercial law.
