OPPORTUNITIES IN OUR HONG KONG OFFICE

Hong Kong

We offer training contracts and vacation schemes in our Hong Kong Office. These are for individuals who want to build a long term career in Hong Kong, and who aim to become Hong Kong qualified.

Hong Kong training contracts

HFW Hong Kong is now recruiting trainee solicitors for training contracts that will commence in 2026.

Our work in Hong Kong is international, top-quality, and varied – you could find yourself assisting with the financing arrangements for a new aircraft, working on a cross border fraud or insolvency case, arresting a ship, or attending an international commodities arbitration or a construction dispute mediation. You will be challenged every day to think creatively and solve problems. No day will be the same.

You will work directly with clients and gain exposure to market leading work. You may also have the opportunity to be seconded to one of our many international offices.

Remuneration: We offer our trainees a competitive salary and benefits package and will contribute towards your PCLL studies.

What we look for

We are looking for individuals with strong academics and analytical skills, lots of enthusiasm and a passion for law and commerce. Mandarin language skills are desirable, but not essential.

How to apply

Applications for our 2024 summer vacation scheme are now open to students who are looking for a training contract in 2026. Places are filled on a rolling basis so we would encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible. 

For first year JD students, please submit your cover letter and CV before the application deadline, and provide your transcripts as soon as you receive your academic results for the first semester.

All vacation scheme students are guaranteed an interview for the Training Contract. You can also apply for a Training Contract without completing a vacation scheme.

To apply for a Hong Kong training contract or vacation scheme please send your CV, a covering letter and your academic transcripts (university transcript, and HKDSE/IB certificate), together with any other supporting documentation to hk.graduates@hfw.com. We will screen applications and shortlist those individuals who best meet our requirements.
