How it works

The Fair features a virtual Expo hall which is divided between large, medium and small booths. Inside the booths, there is a live-stream that allows students to video chat with the city’s top law firms and ask questions directly to their lawyers, graduate recruitment members and trainees. There is also a text live-chat for students to submit questions.

Running at the same time will be a number of careers and commercial awareness workshops. These have previously included workshops titled: ‘Life as a trainee’, ‘Finding the right firm for you’, and ‘Interview preparation boot camp’. Drop into these workshops, run by law firms and law schools, to ensure that you enter application season giving yourself the best chance of securing vacation schemes and training contracts.

All the activity takes place in the afternoon (Hong Kong time)/the morning (UK time), enabling students from around the world who are eligible to work in Hong Kong to attend.
