When you join us, you may have some idea of where you want to specialise, but we believe it’s important to give you as much exposure to our business as possible. You’ll sit with a supervisor – a partner or senior associate – and actively contribute to the day-to-day operation of that department; working on transactions and cases and gaining plenty of client exposure. As you gain experience, your level of responsibility will increase. The standards and expectations are high, but you’ll be well supported by professionals who recognise that it’s people like you who represent the future success of our firm. Your A&O Training Contract will consist of four six- month rotations – known in the legal profession as ‘seats’. You’ll spend a minimum of 12 months in at

least two of our three main transactional practice areas (Corporate, Banking and International Capital Markets) for which you can express your preferences. Your professional development is a continuing priority for us and we’ll deliver training and support in a variety of ways, including mentoring from your supervisors and department-specific courses. There is a good balance between support, supervision and being encouraged to work independently. Whatever your future holds, your A&O Training Contract will give you a platform of skills and experiences on which to build a long-term career.
