during the term time. Most internships last between six to 12 months. As an intern, you will find yourself assigned as a team member on transaction s, receiving the same training in the

ral and written English skills, academic ability, commercial awareness, legal knowledge and commitment to the law. Our preference is for students who are in the final year of their LLB or LLM (or who are finishing their penultimate
year of study). Vacation Internships We offer vacation internships to law students studying overseas. The internsh ip normally lasts between two to three months and is from December-February a nd June-August each year.
We try to expose you as much as possible to the working practices of the firm during your internship. This will include attending client and internal meet ings and assisting with current transactions. We look for a commitment to use
your time on the programme effectively. We aim to ensure you have a high-lev el of individual attention and good quality work. Again, places are limited competition is fierce and selection is based on a n umber of criteria, including oral and written English and Chinese skills, aca
demic ability and commitment to the law and a career in
