International Law Internships in China
Our Law internships in China are based in the busy, vibrant cities of Shanghai and Hangzhou. In this ever changing destination, there are many new western companies taking advantage of an increasingly open Chinese economy to set up a Chinese division. Most of these firms need legal assistance to satisfy local business requirements and your law internship in China will undoubtedly reflect corporate life in this modern, evolving and fast paced society.
Companies arriving in China need to adapt to the new environment and a different legal system. Day-to-day you'll intern alongside English speaking local lawyers, one of which will act as your supervisor. Your language abilities and understanding of western culture on top of your knowledge of law will be interesting and useful to Chinese law firms.
Law Internships Abroad with Projects Abroad
Projects Abroad will find you a law internship that fits with your own areas of interest. Volunteers have worked in areas including banking law, mergers and acquisitions, corporate intellectual property, taxation and insolvency. Please let us know of any preferences you may have.
Interning Abroad on a Law Internship in China
To apply for one of our Law in China internships you must have some legal experience. Most of our volunteers are either part way through a law course or have completed their studies and are interested in gaining practical work experience in a law firm abroad.
An internship abroad with a well respected law firm in Shanghai will be a valuable addition to your CV in this notoriously competitive profession. Have international law experience might just secure you that lucrative first job once you graduate!
All law interns live in shared apartments in the city with other Projects Abroad interns and volunteers.
This project is available for two weeks if you don't have time to join us for a month or more. This project has been selected by our local colleagues as being suitable for short term volunteering for both the host community and the volunteer. Although you will gain a valuable cultural insight and work intensely within the law firm please be aware that you may not be able to make the same impact as someone volunteering for a longer period. Volunteers joining a law project for just two weeks should arrive at a weekend.
