    Allen & Overy SJT

    Passing the application review will either consist of a rejection or AC invite- if you applied for a winter vac or 2022 TC you're likely to hear back in the next couple of weeks or so. If you applied for a summer vac, you'll be waiting a little longer.

    Allen & Overy SJT

    If you're asking in relation to what A&O look for in their trainees, this is briefly detailed on their graduate website, but if you scroll through their podcast and social media, they do touch on some key characteristics they like to see.
