We are unmatched: Building a career without borders

Join us on Monday 7 September 2026 for a virtual student event with A&O Shearman.

Business doesn't stop at borders, and neither does the advice clients need to navigate a global economy. Geopolitical shifts are reshaping where and how deals get done, and clients need lawyers who can think beyond a single jurisdiction and advise with a truly global perspective. With close to 50 offices across 29 countries, A&O Shearman is uniquely placed to discuss what future lawyers need to bring to the table, and the opportunities a shifting world can offer.

A panel of leading A&O Shearman lawyers from a range of practice areas will discuss the complex, cross-border work they undertake, the opportunities available to those looking to join the firm as trainees, and the key skills future lawyers need to succeed.

After short talks and a panel discussion, attendees will have the opportunity to network virtually with A&O Shearman lawyers, trainees and members of the firm’s early careers recruitment team.

Apply to attend above. You will be asked to submit two questions to the firm.
