OPEN CULTURE
Find out what you’re made of.
At A&O, we encourage you to take up activities alongside your day-to-day role. From sports clubs to pro bono work, we open every door to help you find time for the things you love. As you get involved in different groups, teams and schemes, you’ll learn new skills, meet people from across the firm and turn working relationships into lasting friendships. With a range of pro bono and community work programmes, we have something for everyone to get involved in and use their skills for good. Our programmes are focused on two key themes: access to justice and access to education. At A&O, you could volunteer your time to fight the death penalty or advise at evening clinics in legal centres across London. Or, you could be helping to get young people from non-privileged backgrounds onto award-winning work experience schemes, giving them the confidence to take the first steps towards a successful career path. We also have a number of sports teams, including football and rugby, free squash courts and an on-site fitness centre.
