Allen & Overy

Start at the top

Starting a training contract with Allen & Overy is just the beginning of what will be a stimulating and rewarding legal career.  Throughout the two years of your training contract, we will work closely with you to ensure you have the right support to develop into a successful commercial solicitor.   

The partners and associates you work with will ensure that you are given variety and responsibility in your work.  You will be expected to use your initiative but always safe in the knowledge that you have a strong network of resources and support behind you.

The combination of three and six month seats we offer, and the opportunities to undertake international and client secondments during the second year of training, allows you to experience the breadth of our work whilst ensuring you gain the depth of knowledge to help you make informed career decisions. We train our lawyers with the future in mind and want you to succeed and develop a long-term career with Allen & Overy.  Our retention rates on qualification - typically around 90% or higher - reflect this.
