Hong Kong Summer Vacation Scheme & Training Contract

Hong Kong Summer Vacation Scheme

Latham’s Hong Kong office offers two three-week summer vacation schemes, one in June and one in July, for candidates interested in applying for a training contract. These schemes introduce you to our work and our culture, providing opportunities for you to meet our team and contribute to current matters.

During the scheme, you will produce written work, participate in group exercises, and attend presentations on various topics, gaining a thorough appreciation for how Latham operates. You will also have the opportunity to enjoy social events and to ask lawyers and trainees questions in an informal environment.
