Hong Kong Summer Program for US Law Students
Our summer program gives you a sense of a junior associate’s life at Latham.
As a summer associate, you will have the opportunity to engage in a range of legal practices, including corporate (M&A and capital markets) and finance (traditional and project financing). We encourage you to pursue your interests and learn about the firm’s strategic priorities, ensuring you gain valuable substantive experience by collaborating with leading experts across various fields.
Assigned mentors will answer your questions and help guide you through the summer. Like our associates, you will be engaged in substantive matters and receive real-time feedback.
At Summer Academy — a highlight of our summer program — you will join summer associates from across the firm and be immersed in Latham’s culture through training seminars and social events.
Networking and building relationships with Latham professionals is an essential part of your summer — and your career. You will have opportunities to join practice group presentations, participate in affinity group events, and attend casual lunches and social events with our lawyers.
Latham’s summer program in Singapore runs for 10 weeks (accommodations are provided).
