Opportunities

At Allen & Overy we recognise that you will be at different stages of your career journey. Some of you will be sure that being a commercial lawyer is the right path for you, and others will be exploring that career along with a number of other options. As a result, we have created various different options when applying to our firm, to allow you to take the route that best suits you.

For those in your first year of undergraduate study, A&O First allows you to explore whether a career in commercial law at A&O is right for you. On completion of A&O First, you will be well-prepared to go on to apply for either a Vacation Scheme or Training Contract.

If you are in your penultimate or final year of study, or have already graduated and feel you need to experience our firm first-hand, then you can apply for a Vacation Scheme with us.

If you are already sure you want to work at A&O, then we encourage you to apply directly for a Training Contract. The choice is yours, as anyone in their penultimate year onwards can apply for either opportunity.

Allen & Overy Virtual Information Session and Panel

It can be difficult trying to differentiate one firm from another. Attend our virtual information session and listen to our panel discussion to gain an insight into A&O, our programmes, our culture and the work we do.

If you think a career in commercial law might be for you but you’re keen to find out more, then our information session and panel is a great place to start.

This event is open to all law students, interested in pursuing a career in law in Hong Kong.
