⚖️ Allen & Overy Solicitor Apprenticeship Recruiter Q&A ⚖️
Yesterday afternoon I has the pleasure of attending a Q&A session with recruiters from Allen and Overy.
This highly insightful session began with a snapshot of who A&O are. This included information such as the vast number of offices A&O have across the world and their interest in legal technology. This was very interesting, as while I had been aware that Allen and Overy are a highly significant firm, to see the statistics regarding this really solidified my interest in applying to A&O in the future, whether that is as an apprentice or a trainee.
We were also informed about the extensive benefits of working at Allen and Overy, including the ability to get beauty treatments and exercise on site, and also the signing on bonus for apprentices, something very useful for applicants who live outside of London.
After this, the solicitor apprenticeship application process was explained to us and we were directed to a list of very useful resources to use when applying. This included commercial awareness resources, such as Legal Cheek and Financial Times, and also Allen and Overy's own resources, such as their podcast. This was very helpful, and I will certainly look into these further to improve my own commercial awareness.
Finally, after a quick walk through of different opportunities offered by A&O, we had the opportunity to ask the recruiters any questions we might have.
Overall, this event was very insightful and an amazing opportunity to get clarification on areas I was uncertain about. If they offer similar events in the future, I would highly reccomend applying!
