Seat allocation is a high-stakes decision problem.
We think that law firms can deliver better outcomes for their trainees and their business by using technology to manage trainee seat rotations.
Alo applies Symbolic AI - logic, constraints and optimisation - to explore thousands of valid allocations and recommend the best one against your firm’s rules and trainee preferences.
Allocations are accompanied by a detailed analysis of the rotation and the trainees as individuals, highlighting non-obvious trends and predictions to help law firms to better support and retain their trainee solicitors.
How Alo’s AI works
Alo is a bespoke solution tailored to the individual specifications of your firm's rotation mechanics. It accounts for a range of challenging considerations to generate an unbiased, optimal allocation.

Bespoke for each firm
Alo encodes your training contract structure and business constraints - then optimises trainee satisfaction within them. No generic ‘one-size-fits-all’ matching.

Preference intelligence
Alo accounts for stated preferences and context (e.g. repeated choices, progression, balanced development) to maximise satisfaction while maintaining fairness.

Future Proof
Alo avoids ‘local’ wins that cause downstream problems—helping ensure future cohorts and seat requirements stay workable.

No fuss, fast turnaround
Share anonymised data in your preferred format and we run the allocation engine and return a report, within 2 days.

Delivering trainee satisfaction, in record time
Alo produces a recommended allocation designed to maximise preference satisfaction while applying consistent, rule-based fairness checks, adherence to business needs, and fulfilment of training contract requirements.
HR Teams save days, sometimes weeks, of painstaking, manual effort that they can be spend on higher value activities.
