    Winter, Spring and Summer Vacation Scheme Deadlines 2025-26 (with rolling/non rolling checklist!)

    Hi. I am a little confused. Can law graduates no longer apply to vacation schemes for A&O Shearman? Can we only do TC applications now?

    So I am guessing is now PFO :( for A&O Shearman WVS, I have seen that a couple of people got invited to their AC but I still haven’t got the PFO. Has anyone heard back from HL after the second test(VI) ?

    A&O Shearman Assessment Day

    Hi, I have been invited to the A&O Shearman assessment day in two weeks and was just wondering if anybody had any advice on how to prepare, the sort of things to research and the sort of questions I will be asked?

    I should also add that the A&O Shearman partners and senior associates I've come across have all been really friendly and very generous with their time when I've had questions about applying for training contracts. I don't have much contact with them on a day-to-day basis, but when I have cold...

    A&O Shearman Application - In the "Higher Education" section, it allows a maximum of 20 grades/modules to be input. I've done 24. Does anyone know what to do about this? It seems a strange quirk to have in their system (besides needing to put GCSEs in twice, etc.).

    Hi everyone, does anyone know whether the A&O Shearman numerical reasoning test is a full numerical reasoning assessment, or just a short set of questions? I saw someone mention the latter on here before, but wasn’t sure if that’s accurate. Thanks!

    Does anyone know if its worth applying to A&O Shearman TC based on their intake numbers cos I can't seem to find info anywhere? Also, given its been a month since apps opened for winter VS - do you think its still worth applying?
