Hong Kong, Central and Western District, Hong Kong SAR China Ashurst Full time

Ashurst Hong Kong offers a unique chance to kick-start your career in law with our Vacation Scheme and Training Contract.

As a leading international law firm, we bring together talented lawyers with technical knowledge, industry experience, and regional expertise. Our comprehensive programs provide an immersive experience of our culture and the kind of work we do.

The four-week Vacation Scheme is designed to give you a realistic taste of life as a trainee solicitor, rotating through different practices under the supervision of a qualified solicitor. You will gain an in-depth understanding of our practice areas from sharing sessions and legal training workshops, along with opportunities to interact with colleagues through social events.

Upon successful completion of the Vacation Scheme, you can apply for our two-year Training Contract. The contract includes a thorough induction, introducing you to all the resources needed to support your work and training. You will rotate through various practices and divisions, with one seat likely to be an international secondment to one of our overseas offices.

To be eligible, you need to be on track for a strong 2.1 in your law degree and possess strong English and Chinese skills. Additional foreign language skills are welcome. If you haven't met this criteria due to mitigating circumstances, there will be an opportunity to provide this information on your application.

Our estimated salary for this role is around HKD 30,000 - HKD 40,000 per month, depending on your level of experience and qualifications. We interview and offer positions on a rolling basis.
