    Allen & Overy SJT

    No, not everybody received confirmation and you'll be notified most likely via the portal first if the SJT's been failed.

    if they take into account candidates who failed previous interviews, of course not. So your app won’t start on a negative

    Allen & Overy SJT

    I've felt compelled to intervene given that I was in the same situation. Although I sat the SJT (and passed them btw last year), I didn't get an email shortly afterwards confirming if I passed it or not. I didn't have any news for two weeks. I called HR and confirmed that they had some issues...

    hey sorry for being unclear! The first para is the good interpretation (regarding the non-traditional students) and I agree with what you’ve said. It was an example to your point :)

    I’m a non-traditional student who attended a sports high school (from my understanding this doesn’t exist in the UK but in my country it’s one of the worst) and didn’t vibe at all with what you described above about life at Oxbridge

    Judge me but grades are such a stupid thing to be honest. In a few years time, assuming you get this job as you want it, no client would ask for your grades. They simply won’t care, come on :) just a label on somebody.

    Allen & Overy "Introduce a new law" question for VS application

    Agree with this one This type of question is very subjective in the end and I think it makes sense to discuss anything as long as it transpires that you know what you're talking about either via past experiences or current research. You can talk from corruption to general average reforms in...

    Acquiring a foreign company

    You're very welcome. On your point, yes and no. You would be looking at potentially the same things (though it's likely to be more in cross-border transactions, particularly outside the EU/EEA), but international law is actually excluded (based on your specific question). International public...

    Acquiring a foreign company

    competition, employment, labour, corporate law (what kind of acquisition, a large plethora of details that would take a huge post to describe), financial law (borrowing restrictions etc), tax, IP, etc. Can be from a few to lots. It's a long story. Google Allen & Overy anatomy of a deal to have a...

    Just to let you know that Jones Day has postponed their VS for this summer; details to follow shortly, but those who've been successful already will be given a place on a future VS (date tbc). Fingers crossed for everyone! The non-rotational feature was indeed problematic; but, of course, I...

    yes of course but beware that articles usually published by law firms aren’t really for dummies and sometimes are incredibly boring. Judge me. I’ve always tried having common knowledge about various subjects because you have your own opinions which help you understand the topics better; this...
