Allen & Overy

Life at Allen & Overy is about more than just work

Life at Allen & Overy is about more than just the work we do. Being involved in cutting-edge, high profile deals with clients who are household names means there's no doubt you'll work hard, but at Allen & Overy we help you to balance that with social, cultural and sporting activities.

The Trainees' Social Committee is responsible for planning a variety of events, from your particular intake drinks and theatre trips, to the annual Trainee summer ball. There are also regular trainee and departmental social evenings, as well as opportunities to do things with your departmental teams such as skiing trips and sailing weekends.

The state-of-the-art health & well-being facilities at our Bishops Square office offer opportunities to enjoy a wide variety of interests.  Our purpose built sports hall can be used for team sports and fitness classes, and is well-used by all our teams from football to korfball and our gym even offers personal training.  We have around 35 different sports teams, and they regularly play against other organisations and take part in events around the City and beyond. There are also music rooms and multi-faith contemplation rooms for use by all our staff.  And finally, our in-house doctor, physio, beauty salon and dentist will give you the care you need to stay fit and healthy.
