The interview was held online with a person from the recruitment team. After a question regarding my interest in the program, I was given a case study of an energy company that planned to expand in the US. I was given limited time to read and take notes and then had to answer one question that would demonstrate commercial awareness. At the end, I was able to ask my own question to the team.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at A&O Shearman (London, England) in Feb 2025
Interview
Extremely well organised and engaging. I also appreciated how it didn't feel rushed, they really took their time to let you answer questions and pose your own. Convinced me even more to apply for a trainee contract from how entertaining my interviewer was to, actually had some laughs, it's not all stone cold faces in the big corporate legal world. Sadly, couldn't attend because I ended had exams overlapping.
