We take 3-4 trainees per year. Training contracts last for two years and you will gain experience in four practice areas (including six months on secondment to one of our international offices). Your seat preferences are taken into account when you join the firm and you are able to have a say in your own career development as your training contract progresses.

Am I eligible?

We are looking for candidates with excellent academic records, good commercial and current awareness and strong communication skills. Fluency in English is a pre-requisite and Cantonese and Mandarin skills are strongly desirable.

When should I apply?

Our Hong Kong office recruits trainee solicitors two years in advance. You should apply in the penultimate year of your qualifying law degree. This allows you a year to complete your legal studies and a further year to take the PCLL course and pass the examination before joining us.

Training Contract: to start in 2027

Please note that outstanding interns at the summer vacation scheme receive training contracts before we move onto applicants who apply direct for a training contract.
