    At the AC they said they offer around 30 VS places across spring and summer and give 7-10 TCs per year, some which might already be filled :)

    I had a couple of post-its on the wall behind my laptop screen with brief notes e.g. if they ask about teamwork, this is the example I'm going to give. they helped so I didn't get stuck but then also wasn't reading off them because they were short!

    wdym a change in this mid-week? I think you will just find out within a week of whatever day your AC was, that's what they told us anyways. a week isn't too bad to wait compared with other firms!

    I felt I did better in the scenario interview than the case study so I'm sure it's just personal opinion! I'm sure they consider it holistically so I wouldn't worry :)

    Allen & Overy Winter Vacation Scheme 2024

    I'm considering the WVS finished last Friday and people have said they had ACs for direct TC tomorrow and Wednesday, so maybe we won't hear back until later this week, or perhaps even later if they want to consider direct TCs at the same time as SVS places

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    Do you reckon they will wait until the TC ACs are completed before giving offers for the summer VS? People completed ACs for SVS 21st Nov - 1st Dec and we're waiting on results

    Anyone who did A&O WVS how long did it take to hear back if successful after the AC? Nervously waiting on SVS results...
