Meet us

Every year, from August to February, we hold a wide range of events to help you learn as much as possible about a career in law. We work with both our own teams and external partners to offer you the chance to ask questions, meet our lawyers and current trainees, and help you plan your next steps.

You could join one of our Q&A sessions with the Early Careers Recruitment team to discover more about the variety of opportunities we offer and to ask any questions you might have about our application process or life at A&O Shearman. You can usually find us at the Legal Cheek Virtual Law Fair and the Bright Network FESTIVAL, among many other events we attend in collaboration with our partners.
