Claire Wright Graduate Recruitment Partner

Our industry is changing more quickly now than it has done at any time since I qualified – and this means that the skills lawyers need are changing too. Technical excellence, curiosity, creativity and raw intellect are as important as they’ve ever been, but a willingness to embrace change and to understand the opportunities that it brings are vital too. At Allen & Overy, we’re looking for people who can adapt positively to new environments, making use of emerging technologies to shape the way in which we deliver services to clients across the world over the next decade and beyond. So my advice to anyone considering a career in commercial law is simple: think about your own skills and personal attributes. What is it that makes you suited to being a commercial lawyer and how will you adapt to the challenges that the future will bring? We are interested in more than qualifications and achievements; we want to know about the skills they’ve helped you develop, and the extent to which they can promote the success of our business and that of our clients in the face of change. This is a firm in which intelligent, forward-thinking people who relish challenges will flourish. If you think you could be one of them, then we want to hear from you. Welcome
