Mainland China Elite Internship Programme 2027

The internship is your opportunity to see what it takes to succeed in a global law firm and includes the potential for a full-time work placement.

Designed to increase your understanding of business strategy and practice areas in China, the Scheme will give you valuable exposure to live projects, as well as access to bespoke training sessions and workshops.

Your performance will be monitored throughout your internship.

A formal performance review will take place at the end of the internship.

Successful candidates will be considered for a return offer.

In addition to support from the Graduate Recruitment team, you will have access to experienced lawyers and partners in the workplace and at social events. They will be on hand to answer your questions and give you the constructive advice and feedback you need to make the most of the Scheme and your talents. The firm will also work with you to agree on an appropriate schedule that balances your work and class commitments.

Our six-month internship is for individuals from mainland China who are penultimate or final-year undergraduates or postgraduates in law, as well as law postgraduates from the United Kingdom and United States.
