Job Description
Our Vacation Placement is the perfect introduction to Pinsent Masons if you would like to be considered for our Hong Kong Training Contract. We design structure and develop the placement programme to give you an experience which is practical and enjoyable whilst authentically reflecting the Trainee Solicitor experience. Working alongside lawyers and trainees on real client projects you will enjoy structured work-based learning skills training and presentations.
To ensure well-rounded development you will have exposure to different practice groups in our Hong Kong office and you will be paired up with an Associate as your supervisor and a trainee as your buddy. Their job is to guide support and encourage you throughout the course of your placement. Throughout the programme you can look forward to:
- tasks which will help you to develop your existing knowledge and skills as well as picking up some new ones
- access to client work whilst being supervised and supported
- getting involved in a range of additional activities
- working with and learning from solicitors who are leaders in their respective fields
- a non-hierarchical structure with the emphasis on approachability and a collegiate working culture
We hope your Vacation Placement experience will fuel your interest in joining the firm as a Trainee Solicitor.

If you meet our core capabilities and perform well throughout both the assessments and the placement we will offer you a Training Contract.
