    LPC resits

    Hey guys. I just did my Interviewing and advising assessment. I think I did terrible. I didn't take note of the VAT and cost and gave a number that was £10 higher than the actual cost.

    Allen & Overy Winter Vac Scheme 2022

    Hey all was just wondering if anyone had a rough idea how long A&O generally take to get back to you following assessment days? Had mine last Wednesday (12th October) but can’t find any consensus as to when I should stop expecting a call and just assume the worst. Thanks!
