International associates program

Allen & Overy's international associates program draws on our relationships with leading local law firms and companies throughout the region, allowing selected attorneys to spend ten to twelve months in the New York office as fully integrated members of our team.  We typically have at least two, and at times more, international attorneys with us in New York.  In recent years, our team has included international associates from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Panama and Peru.

Our culture

Allen & Overy operates as a fully integrated firm and our one-firm ethos binds together all our lawyers, offices and practice groups. Allen & Overy’s integrated-team approach has won us a number of awards and continues to be key to our success. Allen & Overy stands by the values of understanding our clients’ businesses, anticipating their needs and working with them to facilitate and guarantee innovative and successful transactions.  We take pride in treating every transaction as a top priority and are dedicated to providing clients with outstanding strategic legal advice.
