A&O First is our work experience programme for first-year undergraduates and second-year undergraduates on a four-year degree course. It provides actual work experience in one of our practice areas alongside soft skills sessions, and networking opportunities to help you build on your commercial awareness, legal expertise and employability. You’ll also be paired with an A&O Trainee who will provide support throughout the scheme and beyond. We also offer further training and support in your second year to help guide you through the recruitment process. Our goal is to help you decide if A&O is the right place for you. At the end of the programme and dependent on your performance throughout it, you’ll have the opportunity to be fast-tracked to an assessment centre for a Vacation Scheme or A&O Training Contract.
The support network that I experienced enabled me to feel included in the firm and truly reflects the collaborative and supportive culture that the firm has. Fiona Joe Sin Yeoh – current LPC Student & Previous A&O First participant. As one of the world’s biggest international law firms, we have a large global network, so it’s important that our people have a global mind-set from day one. On the programme you’ll meet other work experience students from our global offices and this is why we offer students attending A&O First the opportunity to apply for additional work experience in one of our international offices. This global experience is an invaluable insight into how our teams collaborate across the globe. International A&O First
