    Where firms recruit from (Vacation Scheme vs Direct TC applications) 2024-2025

    Hiya @alfyundercat A&O Shearman typically has both vac scheme and direct training contract routes. As their recruitment process has undergone some changes since their merger, it's difficult to say what proportion of their trainees come directly through the vac scheme versus the direct training...

    Hi @Jessica Booker , at the end of the A&O Shearman SJT I think there's a video interview question along the lines of 'why do you want to be a commercial lawyer at A&O Shearman?'. When answering something like this, I don't know whether to prioritise 'Why A&O Shearman?' or 'Why commercial law?'...

    Hi, for reference, I received the test automatically, but the test took approximately one hour to do, the app form is very short, one hour also ( if you do have completed work experience with you to copy & paste), but I do suggest if you really want to apply, do it ASAP, to avoid any technical...

    ...you're doing well! Do you guys have any advice for preparing for an AC in a short space of time? I received my first AC invite ever (A&O Shearman) and I don't have much time to prepare. I never thought that I would reach this stage (years of rejection have made me uber-cautious!), so I...
