Allen & Overy

Yes. Competition for our vacation placements is very fierce but we have many more training contracts than can be filled by our vacation students. If you have made an application for a vacation placement but were not invited for interview then you can still apply but you should make sure that you show evidence of your continued commitment and development since your last application. If you have been interviewed for our Winter vacation programme and were unsuccessful at this stage, you will have to wait a further 12 months before reapplying - this is because the selection process for this vacation programme and the non-law training contract positions is exactly the same. If you have been unsuccessful at interview for our Spring or Summer Vacation programmes, you can apply for a training contract in the summer before your final year but we will be looking to see how your skills, knowledge and experience may have improved since your previous application.
