For those interested in applying to be a Hong Kong trainee, we run three four-week internship programmes every year so you can experience what life is like at Freshfields.

We give priority to penultimate-year law students who are on track for a 2:1 degree or equivalent and are fluent in written and spoken Mandarin and English.

Take part in our four-week internship programme

We run one in June and one in July for students from Canada, Hong Kong and the UK, and we run one in January for students from Australia and New Zealand.

We selected up to fifteen students for each four-week programme.

We have made the difficult decision to cancel our 2024 Winter Internship programme. Students who are interested may consider applying for our 2024 Summer Internship programmes, opening for applications in September 2023.
