PRC Scholarship Programme
With the rapid growth of the Greater China market, we recognised that having strong local capability to deliver our full range of legal services to Chinese clients is fundamental to meeting the needs of our clients and growing our business in the Asian region.
To achieve this we need to increase our pool of local language speakers, leverage their deep local knowledge and connections and at the same time build their international expertise. Hence we wish to award scholarships to top talent from leading universities in China.
The scholarship
We welcome applications from:
- Law students from leading universities in China who are in their penultimate/final year of undergraduate/postgraduate studies; and
- Native Mandarin speakers with fluent English skills
We offer scholars the opportunity to:
Study in London
Spend 8 months in London to undertake a Law Conversion Course (PGDL), with option to convert the qualification into a Master's degree through the completion of an additional 60-credit research module.
Study in Hong Kong
Spend a year in Hong Kong to undertake a Postgraduate Certificate in Laws (PCLL).
Work
On completion of the above, join us as a Trainee Solicitor in Hong Kong. This is a 2-year training contract during which scholars will work full-time in our Hong Kong office and have at least one 6-month rotation in either our Shanghai, Beijing, London or Australia offices.
