Pure Potential

Allen & Overy

Allen & Overy is an international legal practice with over 5,000 people in 34 centres worldwide. We are renowned for our high quality Finance and Corporate advice but also have major strengths in areas such as Dispute Resolution, Tax, Employment and Real Estate. Within this broad range of expertise we offer a training contract characterised by flexibility and choice.

Vital to our success is the way we approach our work. We enjoy what we do and want to employ people who think the same way, maintaining our professional, supportive and friendly working environment.

We recruit 105 trainee solicitors each year. Applications are welcomed from both law and non-law students. We expect you to achieve a 2:1 degree standard. You will also need to demonstrate a genuine enthusiasm for law, and both energy and initiative. Business awareness and an international perspective are prerequisite, as is the ability to work closely with others.
