We offer two 4-week programmes in June and July every summer. This is an opportunity of you to get a taste of what it's like to work at Freshfields. As a summer intern, you will gain exposure to one or two practice groups, get involved in our pro bono work, and participate in exciting firm-wide social activities.

Our Hong Kong trainee positions are filled from the summer internship class. We are looking for penultimate year law students graduating June 2028 to be considered for 2029 training contracts. Whatever your background, we encourage you to apply!

You are required to upload your CV and university transcripts with your application.

Once you have submitted your application form we will review and confirm by email if you have made it through to the next stage. We will ask you to either come to our office for an interview or attend an interview by Microsoft Teams.
