FOREWORD
Dear Students,
In this Directory, you will find valuable recently-updated career information relating to the legal
profession in Hong Kong, replacing the 2013/14 Directory. The legal practices who have
responded to our questionnaire have supplied information on the nature of their practices, the
internship and placement opportunities available, the criteria required for selection, the
application process and deadlines, and the remuneration packages offered.
We have also included information about a number of the larger law firms who have not
responded to our questionnaire but which are likely to have vacation placement and other
recruitment opportunities available.
I would also like to take this opportunity to urge all of you to make full use of the career-related
services available on the Faculty’s now-revamped Virtual Careers Resource Centre (VCRC), to
attend the careers seminars and to take part in the other careers events advertised on the VCRC
from time to time.
Our goal is to provide top level career support and information to enable you to plan your
journey into the profession. Your participation in these events and use of these resources is the
best indication to us that you are finding our efforts worthwhile.
Good luck with your applications!

JONES DAY
Jones Day offers a training experience that is different from those of all the other major law firms in Hong
Kong. Our trainee solicitor system combines the advantages of a flexible nonrotational system with the
benefits of a structured rotational programme.
During your first year with us, you will rotate through different practice seats in order to gain solid
exposure to both contentious and noncontentious matters.
The final 12 months of your training contract, you will have the opportunity to work with the practices of
your choice so that you can decide which area interests you the most. During this time, we will work closely
with you to help you transition to the practice that you may eventually join as an associate.
This system is designed to ensure that you develop strong legal skills and, at the same time, to equip you
with the experience and knowledge necessary to become a technically astute and commercially savvy lawyer
upon your admission as a solicitor.
